Question
racerose
I decided to try a pattern for a "country bowl" that is crocheted using strips of gingham fabric. I purchased some cute lime green gingham fabric and didn't realize that the gingham was only printed on one side of the fabric. So the other side of the fabric is pretty much white.
So, when cut into strips, one side has the cute gingham and the other side is white-ish. This looks bad when crocheted (obviously) because when the white side of the fabric shows, you can't see the gingham.
I was able to work around the problem by folding the fabric strips so that the printed gingham showed on both sides of the strips.
But lesson learned... when buying fabric to cut into strips and crochet with, make sure both sides of the fabric is printed/colored/looks the same.
I hope this makes sense b/c it's not easy to explain
