will this fabric work for a Whimsical Wears?

[stillplayswithbarbies]

I found this fabric and I think I love it, but I am confused about the repeat. The website says it "repeats 26.5" vertically". Does that mean it won't work for a WW bag that will be 18" wide and 13" tall? And if it would work, then what coordinating fabric would I put with it?

Is there anyone good with Photoshop that can crop this to an 18x13 square to show me how much of the pattern would show? I guess it wouldn't by 18 tall since the coordinating fabric would be at the bottom, so maybe a 13x13 square.

I tried to photoshop it with a ruler, but couldn't figure it out, so this is my estimation (using the entirely scientific tool of a piece of paper folded to the length of the diamond pattern and then folded in half to get roughly a 13" square). :P Anyway, I think the vertical repeat would be from the top of the flowers around the diamond-ish shape with the leopards to the bottom flowers around the diamond. So you could have a bag with the leopards centered, but the whole diamond pattern would not show.

Of course, all of that is worthless if that's not what the 26.5" repeat means.

you might try pairing it with khaki ticking, or even a solid pink-ish to bring out the flowers.

did you make your decision yet?

Thanks Anna! I like your scientific method LOL.

I might pair it with a corduroy if Kim has one in a shade of brown that matches, although the solid khaki sounds good too.

or maybe with leopard print, but it might be hard to match the same shade

And just like the last co-op, I can't decide between two different looks, so I am probably going to order two bags. I'm thinking of getting a Katie Bucket Tote, or one of the other smaller bags, to use for my crocheting. I think I can put the skeins/balls of yarn down in the pockets and the piece I am working on in the center section.
