Online Fabric Sourcing Chat Three Print and Scale

In this session we discuss fabric prints, color, and scale. Shari kicks things off with a look at print and color throughout history. Donna brings us her insight on the 60's and 70's with a fun look at using larger scale prints appropriately. And I'm chiming in here and there with the fabrics I love too!



Interested in the book Textile Designs book by Susan seller that Shari recommends? You can find it on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3b65OXr

 

Plus we hve a fun update from Donna - Her Vogue Fabric Swatch book arrived! Watch this video to see what she got and explore all the possibilities!

 

Many of you asked about finding the right scale for trims and notions too. We'll save that for another discussion/topic!

Enjoyed this session very much. Loved Shari’s discussion of the various historical eras. I also enjoyed seeing how Donna combined her prints as I am one that loves to do that. I liked the set up actually.

Great conversation. Loved it!
Please talk more about figuring out the scale of a print online. I struggle and am reluctant to purchase online when they do not show a ruler or coin for contrast.

I loved this session! I am trying to get into more historical clothes, and it was fascinating talk from Shari. about the different eras, and the fabrics used and why. Even without the book, I at least have a better idea of how to look at fabrics for what I want to do.
