Zenith & Quasar Florida Charity Fabric!

Lilly, owner of Zenith & Quasar is from Florida. So after Hurricane Irma struck Florida, she knew she wanted to run some fabric celebrating all the wonderful wildlife and nature that Florida has to offer. It so happens that a loyal customer, Shelly - who is a graphic designer, is also from Florida! So with the help of member of the Zenith & Quasar Facebook group - they developed a print, 2 panels, and some fun stripes as coordinates.

10% of all sales from this round will be donated to Fishing for Families in Need (F4FN), a South Florida charity. F4FN teaches marine conservation and fishing skills to socioeconomically disadvantaged children, as well as providing fish to local soup kitchens. Originally, Lilly intended to donate to relief efforts, but at this point decided to donate to their general fund so they can use the funds as needed.

This preorder is open through December 31st. As usual, all prints are on the most amazing and soft athletic brushed poly. It's breathable, moisture wicking, colorfast, and has way better stretch and recovery than cotton lycra. It has a bit of drape so it's perfect for making just about anything. If you have never tried it - you should. 

Lilly sent me the large scale post cards. I knew as soon as I saw the print that I wanted to make leggings with it! 

I made the 5 out of 4 Ninja Pants. These are a great leggings pattern when you want very little negative ease. Which for lighter colored prints is the best. Best part is they are FREE with a code from the Facebook Group.

I had to do a few close ups of my legs to show you the amazing detail and gorgeous colors in this print!

I think the mangrove trees and anole lizard are my favorite images. The manatee is pretty cute too.

I also got the Adult panel of the Manatee. I love the panels - they are a full yard! The panel comes as a fat half of the design and a fat half of the background. I love that it makes it so easy to make a top that has a back that perfectly matches the front.

For my top, I used another free pattern. This is the Uvita top from Itch to Stitch. It's a great relaxed fit drop shoulder top with two sleeve options. I did the 3/4 sleeves. My sleeves happen to be a yarn dyed stripe cotton lycra I picked up at Fabrictopia. Also - Itch to Stitch has all patterns on sale for 20% off through December 19th with the code bye2017!

I'll be making a trip to Florida in April this coming year and can't wait to wear this outfit there. But I'll be wearing this a lot no matter where I am. I have a few other tunics in my wardrobe that will go great with these legging too since it has a wide array of colors. Preorder closes on December 31st!
