was hot?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">So, I decided to put together a group of cool, refreshing fabrics!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The first that springs to mind is the Retro Girly Pool fabric.<br \/>\nThis shows girls on floating mattresses,<br \/>\nenjoying a lazy day at the pool<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This is sheeting weight,<br \/>\nand suitable for all kinds of projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\"

developed in India and<br \/>\nthe weave was developed for breathability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We have three colors of it right now-<br \/>\nred, pink, and aqua.<br \/>\nIt is suitable for clothing or for home dec applications.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 549px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\"
