Bits of fabric

Just a quick question: Tomorrow, I hope I will have time to get started on this blouse. 

That yoke looks ideal to use up an odd little off-cut I was given when buying fabric at one of my usual places last summer.

One of these, to be precise, on black. Both are too small to be used on their own but seem big enough for the yoke, collar and cuffs of this blouse.
So, the question is: Which one would you like to see?

  1. While I think the print on the L would make a good yoke, I would use the small-scale print on the R. The R would would be more effective for small details like the collar and cuffs.

  2. I like colour and would choose the one on the left, depends which you think fits better in your closet.
    I make small pieces into bags cushions etc.

  3. The left side is more eccentric, while the right seams more conservative. Personally I like the left :)

  5. I do like the stripe on the left, but I'd see how many curves you'd be cutting with it. If the stripe lines up with the cuff all the way around, yes. If the cuff seams curve at all, I'd go with the dot. The eye likes to follow the line all the way around.

  6. I love the ethnic vibe of the left side fabric.

  8. Dotted black one. "Ethnic" print really doesn't match the 50s style. Looking forward to seeing your version!
