Ikea Fabric

June 30, 2014 8 Comments

Do you buy Ikea fabric ?
Here is the latest addition to my stash.

A medium weight cotton. I thought to use them for the back of some decorative pillows I want to sew.

 

This weight works great for bags too. For the bag below I paired it with a Decovil light interfacing and I loved it.
They would be perfect as lining for bags too.

Below there is a heavyweight cotton. I made these bags 5-6 years ago (patterns here) and I still love them. On these I used Decor Bond interfacing.

Same fabric, different looks!

And the versatile stripes! I even quilted this fabric with much success.

 
And this is the back of one of my new quilts. It’s lightweight fabric. The large prints are good options for backings.

Ikea is three hours away from me so that it is always a treat when I visit it!

Have a great week,
Geta

    Very nice fabric. I did not know that Ikea carried fabric. Maybe it is a good thing to live three hours away.

    I used the lightweight muslin from IKEA for pattern fitting. It's not too bad. I've also used lots of their upholstery weight and deko fabric for pillows and such. You've put the larger print fabric to very good use! I would always look at it, but not know what to use it for. Great inspirational tips here!

    Your projects are so beautifully finished. It's obvious that you love designing and creating and your love is certainly contagious to anyone looking at your blog. Passion is so inspiring but you don't just inspire, you teach as well with your helpful suggestions.
    Thanks Geta.
