english fabrics

unfortunately there is no 'saturday equals shopping' post today as ive been to the opening weekend of 'evita' in the west end and couldnt do any store visits. instead ive had a look at these sweet little fabrics from rosa blue. i loved the design above, it looks really interesting in the way that there are all the little patterns inside the shapes as well. the bunting below is a nice way to show fabric collections for sale, and polka dots and paisley designs are in big demand in the uk at the moment.

finnish fabrics

these designs from ivana helsinki show how patterns can be created from a wide range of motifs.

even the simple sketch of a car can become a great textile design when put into an interesting repeat. and as for the birds, what can i say , the motif of the moment !
