Air Balloons is down-right adorable. It features rows of stripey air balloons with a variety of animal passengers- rabbits, pigs, foxes, and squirrels- in a bright turquoise sky with clouds, rainbows, and robins.
Happy Girls is my favourite. It features a riotous scene with a variety of (you guessed it) happy girls, prancing speckled horses, squirrels in fedoras, and butterflies amidst apple trees, flowers and houses. I KNOW, TOO MUCH ADORABLENESS. Those horses, I die.
Missing Duck has some retro-style going on. It features a meandering river scene of ducks, frogs, and fish with retro style suns and flowers. I get almost as much pleasure from the names of fabrics as from the fabrics themselves. I'm assuming they refer fairy tales outside my frame of reference but I enjoy them. Which leads us neatly to...
Jack and Frog Friends. Do you like your frogs with a side of hipster? Then this is the fabric for you: a smattering of googly-eyed frogs catching flies from their lily-pads while wearing a variety of hipster glasses. Fantastic.
Last of the prints, Lemondot! This is a large-scale citrus print in blue and green on a bright lime green background. From a distance they resemble polkadots but up close they're clearly sliced citrus.
Finally, I have a yellow plain jersey. This one is sunflower coloured to coordinate with a lot of the new prints. For reasons unknown to me, this is a 100% organic cotton rather than a blend with elastane. That means it's not as heavy as the other jerseys, but it has a softer handle and a really beautiful drape. It's also 180 cm wide!
Last but not least, a jeans jersey! It has a woven texture that makes it feel a heavier weight than the plain 95% cotton / 5% elastane jerseys despite having the same fabric content. The reverse of the fabric is a soft off-white. Can you say jeggings?
I love the new fabrics!
ReplyDelete"Happy girls" remains me Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren, both Pippi and Annika. I love it, one side of my brain tells me, you have two boys, another side is saying, order it, who cares.
