At 10, and ok this is not going to blow the world away but it is a lovely little rose print from Tanya Whelan. I look at a lot of fabric and I don't think anyone does rose florals as good as Tanya. From the Darla collection - Rosie Dot Blue (I could also have chosen red or pink!).
Number 9, I sooooo love Alexander Henry (could easily put a top ten together just of AH prints alone) and Thunder Flower is just brilliant.
8. Eiffel Tower by Paula Prass. When I had this in my shop no one bought it! Secretly I was very happy and intended to make some curtains from it for my work room. Then over a couple of weeks it sold out. Gutted! I really love any prints with structures or buildings and the turquoise and red is inspired.
At 7 is the wonderful Patty Young. All of Patty's fabrics are great and she is a master at geometric prints. This is my favourite, now sadly out of print but I do have the same print in red coming soon (and am looking forward to seeing it).
Number 6 is Hoodie's Medetai which I think is fab.
5. I've gone for Saffron Craigs Softies. Not both softies mind, just the Koala. I say that as the Owl softie is the most popular and the poor Koala gets left behind and I feel sorry for him.
At 4 is Anna Maria Horner's Little Folks. Again I could choose any pattern and even the Folksy Flannels but representing the whole range of flannels and voiles is Forest Hills Sweet - gorgeous!
Number 3 (and see if you can spot the cheat) is everything by sproutdesign. I love them all and just can't choose!
At 2 (nearly finished!) is from the very sadly discontinued Wonderland collection by Momo - Rabbit Hole in Sugar. All gone but I have one quarter meter left which I know I will never make anything out of because it's great just as a piece of fabric.
And my Number 1 (this week anyway) is Inked by Alexander Henry.
It's funky and has attitude - what else do you need in a fabric?!?!
Feel free to argue your top fabric into the Top Ten!
Great choices. I love most Alexander Henry and Michael Miller fabrics. I also love that Tanya Whelan Darla collection too. Gorgeous! Might have to do a top ten on my blog now! Will wait til my new fabric arrives from you then do a post with a link back to your blog/shop. x
ReplyDeleteI too love Alexander Henry fabrics and soo love the sprout designs too - still thinking of where I could use them - somewhere special as they're not cheap! Are you getting any more thunder flower in as would love some to do a skirt for Holly in need approx 1.5m I think!

ReplyDeleteI too am a little apprehensive about even cutting sproutdesign fabrics! They are much heavier in weight and hand screen printed though which accounts for the price. I also worked out you can get 3 cushion fronts out of 2 pieces which would be around £5 per cushion and look lovely (will get around to that one day!).
Thunderflower is on order and will be here around June - just in time for a Summer dress or skirt!

ReplyDeleteI am thinking i'll have to update this top ten every other week!
I am hoping your fabrics have arrived by now (were posted early Saturday) and you make something lovely with them :)
Hi Courtney,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the fabric. Lovely as ever. Have blogged about it and your top ten list. Have blogged about my top ten childrens fabrics! Just need to make something now!
