Live Creatively! New Fabrics for Home & Fashion from Art Gallery!

 

 

I don't know about you, but to me the transition from Summer to Fall has me feeling especially creative and the inspiring minds at Art Gallery are helping give me even more wonderful ideas for a new feel this upcoming season!

 

Chérie by Frances Newcombe is a romantic fabric collection reflecting the lifestyle of a young, beautiful jetsetter who lives in a loft apartment in an urban setting but who loves botanicals, art and traveling! Who can't relate to craving a life like that? Well you can create the feeling exactly where you are by getting these fun fabrics in your life!

 

 

 

 

Create a fun and simple patchwork quilt with these lovely prints to begin to totally transform your bedroom! Create a duvet cover instead of a full quilt and make this room redo a weekend project. Add a new throw pillow to your chair or bed, easy curtains and cover the lampshade of that awesome mid century lamp you thrifted with your favorite fabric from the collection for a personal twist on a trendy look!

 

 

 

Love this Belles Parisiennes print for a table cloth, a shower curtain or even a mod dress! Make some quick art for your studio or guest room by framing a piece of this fabric. It would look awesome in a black, white, silver or gold frame! Use a frame you have and some spray paint if you want to get fancy...let's face it, this would look fantastic framed in metallic gold!

 

 

 

 

Capture the first sightings of a butterfly each spring, and wake up to the birds chirping outside your window. Winged by Bonnie Christine represents a season’s fresh beginnings and the dawn of a new day to spread your wings and let your imagination fly free!

 

 

 

 

Colors and motifs for dreamy & creative living! These textiles are feminine and free spirited so they'll make incredible clothes or home accessories for the young artist in your home! Make a painter's smock, a portfolio to store her projects, or a whole fort that she can keep up in her room full time to make things in!

 

 

 

 

Need to add some color to your stash? Nature Elements is a line of blenders with movement and shade variation that will add loads of interest and color where you need it! And Oval Elements is the perfect tonal for modern projects with its geometric motif. Use them to create fashion basics like button up shirts or A-line skirts in your favorite colors for handmade pieces that you won't be able to stop wearing!

Patterns for Life - Zinnia Skirt by Colette Patterns

 

We have another incredibly versatile pattern to share with you today! The Zinnia Skirt is the very most recent design from Colette Patterns and I have to say, this is another one of those designs that lives up to "perfect pattern" status!

 

 

This skirt nips in at the natural waist then flows gently out over the hip and thigh area. That means it only requires one measurement to achieve a great fit – the waistline! Since the narrowest part on a woman's torso is the natural waistline, you'll be highlighting your curves creating a flattering silhouette for any body shape! 

 

Every version and every size of Zinnia can be made with less than 3 yards of fabric. And how often are you able to use heavy, swishy or slinky fabric for the same pattern? By offering both a pleated and a gathered waist, Zinnia can be created from nearly any fabric in your stash! This pleated version is just fabulous for a work staple!

That also means you can modify it to suit any kind of weather. You’ll soon have a whole collection of seasonal separates, from pleated wool or Flannel for winter to gathered Voile for spring!

 

LOVE the look of the chiffon in the gathered waist version! Such a pretty look for special occasions! Especially when paired with a top boasting lots of texture like that sweater above! Swoon!

 

 

"Thanks...it has pockets!"

 

Said every single girl who gets complimented on her skirt or dress with pockets! Why? Because they're straight up AMAZING and USEFUL and LOVELY!! And why don't ALL dresses and skirts have pockets?? I mean, pockets are just about one of the top 15 best things in life and Zinnia has lots of pocket options to add to this already versatile design! Add that button placket and GET OUTTA HERE...you won't be able to buy a cuter skirt!

 

So pick up your copy of this wonderful pattern today! And shop the rest of our Colette Patterns for even more perfect Patterns for (real) Life!
