Doctor Who fabric

Aug 27, 2007 21 Replies

My 8yo nephew is a great Doctor Who fan. I was planning a quilt for him now that he has his own bedroom and would love to find Doctor Who fabric to back it. Has anyone seen any, please?



Thanks,

I haven't found any but if you do, let me know.My DGD is a fan so much that she claims her name is Marfa Rose (her pronounciation) :) I 've been trying to find embroidery designs also.No luck there. Donna inNWONtario

If you can't find any, you could always appliqué a bunch of question marks. JA

I would *so* buy some if I could find it. I love the show!

Since nobody seems to have found any, Megwen, I wonder if it would be an interesting idea to contact Makower and suggest that they design and make one? Dr Who, in its present form, has captured a whole new generation of fans, and they would surely know that. It might not be available quickly enough for your nephew now-ish, but most people who love Dr Who seem to retain the fascination!

A British company (like Makower) might like the idea and seize on it. M. do make some lovely novelty fabrics - so they are not just flowers and fancy prints. Go on - try it - you've nothing to lose! . In message , Megwen Woodham writes

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try the UK fabric companies.............watch this space!

and a few Tardises too.

I have a great print with large scale planets and solar systems. Might something like that work instead of a specific "Dr. Who" print?

My DH and I are Who fans! We watched it as children and find it "better" now that we are adults. I would even watch reruns of the old shows. My only problem is when they make you like a character (Rose Tyler or the Doctor in particular) then change the Doctor to a different actor or remove Rose....) I know, it is the story line. They will keep changing characters, but I really liked Rose and the first Dr.! LOL

Just me, love the show and will have to buy some of the fabric if anyone ever creates something.

Wow... I haven't watched Dr. Who since the first season after Tom Baker.

and some telephone booths and a ferris wheel and some pigs and ....

will think on this.

Good luck.

Howdy!

Get a couple (few) of the t-shirts, carefully cut out the pics, use a stabilizer under each panel, applique' or piece them together, surrounded w/ lots of starry fabric.

A border of this key fabric would be great, too.

My daughters (13 and 17) are both studying art - This has solved an Xmas

2011 problem. I'm going to pick a favorite image from each of their work, get them printed as a center medallions and add borders to make lap quilts for them.

SPOONFLOWER.COM has a nice selection of Dr. Who fabrics.

Go to: spoonflower.com. and type in Dr. Who

I'm not exactly sure if that's the Dr Who you're talking about, but they have some fabric.

Never seen so many fabrics on one topic - 5 pages with everything from Dr. Who panels with dolls to make, to Tardis via the odd dalek! I can remember the first episode 50 years ago in glorious black and white, we thought the special effects were so clever then! Haven't watched for years, but the trailers I've seen are a little more advanced than 1963.
