One thing I am trying to learn is how to work with prints. Prints are by far the most widely available kind of fabrics, but I'm very much a solids with occasional graphic kind of person. This will be a journey. To ease myself in I got this all-over dark-grey on medium-grey print of skulls and flowers. It's a knit GOTS Organic Cotton Jersey (95% Cotton, 5% Elastic), 200gsm weight. The wrong side of the fabric is just white, which bugs me, because when stretched a lot it becomes visible on the outside. Good thing I have a nice knit t-shirt pattern that barely asks its fabric to stretch at all, the George + Ginger's The Teen Spirit Top.

Realistic all-over print of skulls and flowers, in dark grey on medium grey, (with white wrong-side of the fabric visible at the neckline) jersey fabric over-sized boxy t-shirts with wide necks. The t-shirt on the left has long sleeves, the t-shirt on the right has short sleeves and is shorter in length. Both are hanging from clothes hangers against a room divider (white with black frame).
