I found this vintage Marimekko (printed in 1973) a while ago at the oppy, and there wasn't much of it, I've ummed an ahhed about what to do with it ever since, then I got the inspiration (like a bolt of the blue) to make a panel at the front with plain cotton, so I chopped up the pattern, and put it together, with an applique from the left overs. The back is all Marimekko, and is quite bright in real life. I thought the pink was going to be too much for me - but as I've made it, well it's not really is it?

I have a gf who recently came across almost 2 metres of marimekko at her local op shop and got the whole lot for $5!!!!
Surely it must be my turn soon.
