Day 6 Hiatus-Yikes, stripes & Pattern comparison

I should stay out of Ikea. Here are two more fabrics I picked up a couple weeks ago. I have no idea what I will do with them, but the colors and stripes called to me.

does this scream beach? or awning?

These are cotton fabrics, they wrinkle a bit, and get a little limp after washing. I might make pillow covers for the porch, maybe some kitchen towels, or something else. Any ideas?

Pattern Comparison:

Collette on left, vintage Advance on right
During this little pause I was sorting patterns. I have a few Vintage patterns I have inherited but rarely sew with them. However, this blouse I held onto. Never cut, factory folds. I think what most appeals to me are the details.  Notice the collar treatments. Interestingly, the new Colette on the left has a very similar shape. I have like the Sencha Colette for a long time but haven't made it yet. If you want to see more detail on the Colette Pattern line, go to http://www.colettepatterns.com/blog.
