What do you call fabric that is woven, and is not white on the back? I want the design all the way thru, so it looks the same on both sides. Thanks.

There are many different types of fabric that fit what you are describing. What is it made from, cotton?

Batik's?
The design is the same, however looking very, very closely one side the design will have more defined lines than the other.

what you are talking about has the threads dyed before the fabric is woven. There are several types of fabric that does this.

You are wanting Yarn Dyed Fabric. Yarn-dyed fabric is made out of pre-dyed yarns woven into a pattern. It differs from piece-dyed fabric, which is dyed after the cloth is woven. Popular yarn-dyed patterns include gingham check, dobby cloth, and some plaids. You can also find solids that are yarn dyed.
What are you wanting to make?

Fabrics known as Homespun are like that, too. They are usually plaids

I want to cut tiny little strips from the fabric to make scarves for snowman ornaments I am making. So after I tie the knot, you don't have a reverse side of the fabric showing.

If you are ordering online, it makes it harder. Otherwise, I’d just find a fabric that you like and see what each side looks like. I find that a lot of high quality quilt fabrics (cotton) will look good from both sides. But you actually have to look at the fabrics. |

But you actually have to look at the fabrics I went to Joannes today and struck out. I bought some fabric like this at HL last year, but couldn't find it this year. |

What color/design are you hoping to find? Cotton or wool? And how much do you need? I might be able to find something for you - either online or in my stash. |

What color/design are you hoping to find? Oh how sweet! Something feminine, but winter/Christmasy, if that makes sense. Fabric type doesnt matter. It's for Jenga block snowmen, well snow women, cause they have long eyelashes, and I wanted to dress them appropriately. Attachments:

Sounds like you just need a couple of fat quarters (a piece of fabric that is 18" x 22"). I'm heading to bed right now, but have a free day tomorrow and will see what I have in my stash that is yarn dyed. |

I don't think I need that much! More like 8"x10". If you find anything, I will glad to pay you for it and the postage. Thanks for looking for me! |

I’m just seeing this thread now. I like using wool felt for things like that. It makes for a nice, cozy looking snowman scarf.
Or alternatively if you have a single sided patterned fabric you like that’s thinner, you could also cut it into long strips, fold it in half and press it, sandwiching a piece of fusible web in the middle. Then when you cut it the cut edge won’t fray but it will still be flexible enough to tie around the block.
Some woven or double faced ribbons would work for your purpose too.
