Polka dots fans! Come in please!

So I have this fabric sample I love and want to make a blouse. What pattern/style would you suggest? The fabric is cotton silk. 55% cotton and 45% silk. Do you think it will make a good candidate for a peplum top? Or should I get something else made much simpler? Like a basic scoop neck tank? TIA!

i think it would be really cute! the peplum won't flare out as much, though, because of the silk. it would also be great as a shell.

Photon, do you know where I can find patterns for these tops? I only know of Joann fabric nearby. But haven't gone there yet. Are there any online sources where I can find patterns?

[bimbi284]

Are you making it yourself or having someone make one? Joann's actually has a pretty decent selection of patterns, so you may wanna try there first.

I am having someone else make it because I am not good enough at sewing and do not want to ruin the fabric.

[bimbi284]

Well perhaps the person you are going to have make it has a place he/she likes to go for patterns?

[house]

Probably. I just asked a seamstress that responded to my ad for more details. I hope it's not too pricy! Crossing fingers.

I want this in an infinity scarf!

What's an infinity scarf? I just googled it and it seems it's just a loop? How big is it? What kind of fabric should it be? Would cotton voile be good for a scarf??
