Indie Designers- Part 2; Florals N Scallops
Here’s another look at what’s going on with some fantastic indie fabric designers. Whether printed at home, through Spoonflower, or at an actual fabric mill, they are all totally original, non-commercial, and feature incredibly moving designs. Enjoy!
The first, and at the top of my shortest short list is Yellow Scallops by Wonderfluff. (I ordered it yesterday and I can’t wait for it to arrive!)
This fabric just hits all the right notes for me. These are extreme scallops. Punk scallops. I love mix of mild yellow and retro POP yellow. And the hand drawn lines make me swoon. All of the elements just add up to create a gentle skip to a cracked-out-fantasy-land-slash-circus. Mhm! I have a feeling I’m going to be ordering a whole lot more of this stuff.
Wonderfluff has tons more fresh/sweet/quirky fabric designs like Aqua Daisies. It’s sort of a nod to seventies floral prints, but is so crisp and updated. It’s definitely on my short list.
In my wanderings I also found this very pretty, sort of gothy cherry blossom print, at Alice Caroline Supply’s. I love the contrast. I also like that she has used that contrast to take a really traditional floal print and turn it into something hip and funky but still very, very pretty. Love it.
My last floral print for the day is actually not a floral- it’s arboreal. Take a look at Polka Trees by Olive Manna. It’s listed as a fat quarter set, and they are just so romantic together. I like this print because it’s very clean and modern, but so soft and pretty and romantic at the same time.
Please, go check out these fantastic designers and support indie fabric! Next time I’ll be taking a look at some of what I call “MonoFabric”, (Mono means “thing” in Japanese) which is basically fabric with cute stuff printed on it. Expect to see cute birds, dancing carrots, dogs, bikes, and other miscellaneous representations.
