Tired Bunnies

Couldn't help myself 
 I was desperate to see what the fabric would look like made up...
so sampled the Fishing for Compliments Tunic in it.
I think because I'm soooo in love with the plaster pink I'm not noticing the
upside down tired bunnies....as much.
Turns out Kokka who manufacture the Trefle range, which this design is from, have quite a few designs with upside down images - some I think work better than others.

An alarming observation I made today when I Googled 'Trefle by Kokka' was that some online stores don't seem to have images portraying the fabric patterns in their entirety.
As much as I was annoyed at myself for not noticing the bunnies being upside down, it might have been nice to have had it pointed out to me - after all it's not a cheap exercise.
I know I'd be pissed if 3m turned up in the mail without me knowing half of it was upside down.

I'm not a very experienced fabric purchaser being that most of my garment creations are REcreated however since starting the sewing patterns I'm discovering a whole new world that revolves entirely around fabric and it's applications....
and I'm trying very hard to restrain myself.
My favourite fabrics at the moment are the Japanese cotton & linen blends because they're fantastic quality, just quirky enough and affordable.
