Olive is something I haven't seen before. It's on sale:

Be careful. It could be an Ultrasuede Soft, and a Willow-clone.

Just to make a fair warning: I have used Sky Blue before, and I'm sure Fletcher Funk has as well. It's a very supple facile, so it will make choice bags with very, very little break-in. Use with precaution (although, it's not as bad as Aqua... or is it? idk).

Happy Holidays modified! :)

I don't know about the black print. It would totally look rad with a spinner or tri-spiral pattern, soccerball pattern maybe, so I'm still up in the air of whether to buy it or not. I have to take a look at the backing of this print to be certain on its endurance as a facile.

Zinnia looks really cool. It looks like Fuschia, or a darker Rapture Rose.

I'll get back to you about my facile endeavors once I get them, Holly. :wink:

I want some of that pink.

And it was just this afternoon I was thinking about a bedazzled footbag. But I was more thinking along the lines of swarovski crystals. I guess glittery facile would be more playable...

Yeah that's right!
It's way too thick to sew a playable footbag.
But it would look cool :wink:

Hey Waylon if you get that black fabric, let me know how it is because I've always wanted a functional black facile. Midnight's okay but it's still not black.

BUYERS BEWARE!

Be careful when you are buying Sky Blue! This fabric is extremely supple! Way too supple for the conventional ultrasuede light that we're used to. I think this color is much softer than Green Mist. This material is susceptible to busting holes quickly imo.

It doesn't exactly feel like ultrasuede light, either. It feels like cloth, or really soft cotton, and it is really stretchy.

Maybe this color is an Aqua-clone? Beware!
