Fabric/pattern question
So I've been wanting a kilt for a while, original plan was to buy a utilikilt, but then I got a fabric sample bundle that had some really cool designs in it. So I figured I could sew my own using some of the patterns to make it look really cool. There are 3 that I want to use, Pattern A will be the main pattern, B will be for accents, while C would be trim.
Pattern A is a black background with silver spider and block flower design on it. B is black background with white and orange skulls covering it. C is orange background with black spider webbing across it. These descriptions aren't perfect. The fabric itself is cotton.
The designs in my head follow a couple possibilities. One is with A covering most everything, with B being the pleats. Another is using B to break up A via vertical or horizontal stripes, so 6 inches of A, with 2 inches of B. C would pretty much be used for beltloops and the insides of pockets.
Was wondering if there was a bit of precedence for doing something like that. Should I include some sort of backing of a stronger material?
