Made Whimsy Mambo Round

The Mambo Round at Made Whimsy Fabric is for any Dirty Dancing fan. There are several panels and two prints that are full of iconic scenes from the movie.  The prints are available on cotton lycra, double brushed poly (DBP), and canvas. The preorder is open through January 16th! Layaway is available on order over $50 with the code Mambo50 - that reduces the total by 50%. The remaining balance will be invoiced through PayPal on January 31st!

I was sent the DBP of the Mambo Dancers on Pink, Mambo Stripes, and the Mambo Lift Panel.

I decided to make the George & Ginger Thankful Top and Lovesick Bralette with the Mambo Dancers on Pink and the Mambo Stripes. I thought it would give an 80's dancer vibe. 

Both of these pattern are free in the files section of the George & Ginger Facebook Group. This was my first time making the Thankful Top and I'll definitely be making more!

This top has a couple of options and can be made to be worn with the v in front or back. Since I did a high-lo hemline - it can only be worn with the v in back.

The Mambo Lift Panel image has been updated. The image on the print will be updated as well. The sample version printed that I'm showing you looks like Johnny's hands are under Baby's dress. The revised image now shows the fold of the fabric better and you see a smidge of his hand now on her waist.

The Mambo Lift Panel details are so cool! The background of the panel has the lyrics to (I've had) The Time of My Life.

The panel image fit perfectly on this Halla Patterns Soho Top. This is the plain raglan version.

This was the perfect pattern for me to use the other prints as well. The Mambo Stripes are so cool by themselves too. I was so tempted to sew them up with some pink velvet I have.

 I love how both my tops came out! The brushed poly is so soft and cozy and the prints are just so fun to look at and reminisce while singing old 80's love songs in my head.

So don't mind me - I'm about to go lounge on the bed in my Thankful Top and some leggings and watch Dirty Dancing. I probably haven't watched it since high school! So - if you have Amazon Prime - you can stream it for free. You can thank me later.
