Yesterday I promised you some fabric suggestions for our newest Oliver + S pattern, the Girl on the Go Dress + Top<\/a>. You’re going to have so much fun with this pattern when it’s released next Monday morning!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For both views (dress and top) I recommend cotton jersey, interlock, French terry, or sweatshirt fleece. You could also use ponte if you’re so inclined. I feel like there are so many good knit options out there right now, so let’s get started.<\/p>\n

I chose this striped interlock knit<\/a> (such great colors!) from Cloud 9 for the pink striped tops. Cloud9 fabrics are organic, and these come in several other fun bright colorways that the girls love. They also offer quite a few beautiful prints<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For the green dress I picked the Wink interlock in Pond from Birch’s Mod Basics collection<\/a> (again, such great colors!). I found the fabric for the blue dress someplace in Belgium and haven’t been able to identify it, sorry, but Birch has something quite similar in their Birch Basics collection<\/a>, so all is not lost.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All of Birch’s fabrics are organic, which I love. And like I said, the Mod Basics<\/a> come in a huge variety of colors that I adore. Here are a few, so click that link if you want to see them all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And here are just a few of the really cute prints in the Birch Basics<\/a> collection.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And then I found a bunch of knits at Monaluna<\/a> that I know you’ll like. If you aren’t aware, Monaluna’s fabrics are also organic. (I’m afraid to show these to S because she’ll freak out over those bears.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And what about the huge variety of knits at Art Gallery<\/a>? Some of these prints are really stunning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For cold weather I thought it might be fun to sew the dress from a French terry<\/a> (the indigo<\/a> is pretty, isn’t it?) or sweatshirt fleece. Robert Kaufman has several nice qualities you can choose from, as well as a nice variety of solid<\/a> and printed jersey<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

S has a thing for pineapples right now, so these Dear Stella<\/a> prints caught my eye as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like I said, so many options for knits right now! Which ones do you like?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
