Here’s a quick update with some of my new favorite fabrics that are just arriving in stores.
Cloud 9 Fabrics has a beautiful Designer Series featuring some amazingly talented artists including Heather Moore, Julia Rothman and Geninne Zlatkis. Heather Moore’s collection Cut Out & Keep (pictured above) is available now, and Julia Rothman’s Miscellany (pictured below) should be shipping this month, with Geninne’s collection coming in the fall. Can’t wait to see it!
And Jessica Jones of How about Orange has another fabric collection, Outside Oslo (pictured below), which is printed on practical and sturdy home décor weight canvas. I love this versatile fabric for totes, pillows, handbags and other items that need to be a bit sturdier and more durable.
And I’m loving this adorable new I Heart collection from Rashida Coleman-Hale for Timeless Treasures shown below. If you’re in the Atlanta area, be sure to stop by Whipstitch this weekend to meet Rashida and see her new fabrics.
I’m also excited about the new collection from another local fabric designer, Melody Miller, who has designed what looks like another fabulous collection for Kokka (follow the link to see images). These should hit your local fabric store in August.
There are so many great new fabrics coming out, I couldn’t begin to include them all here. What’s your favorite fabric this summer and what have you made from it?
I love the robots and the Cloud 9 collections. I have no real life favorites. I’ve yet to find any designer stuff where I live (Baton Rouge, LA), and I still consider myself a beginner, so I can’t justify ordering the fancy stuff online for fear that I’ll screw it up. I did find Alexander Henry, Just Hanging Natural when I clicked through on your Fabricworm ad. I need something for my daughter’s nursery this fall.
For my b-day this year i’ve asked for a sewing machine and lessons. I can’t wait to start ordering and using some of the fabrics featured…my local fabric store chain sells rather uninspiring fabric collctions ;P
