Wedding Season Is Here

Wedding season is finally here and to get everyone in the festive wedding mood I have decided to feature one of my favorite blogs 100 Layer Cake. This is a creative collaboration between three friends and designers Jillian, Kristina, and Amanda.

Check out their blog for some great DIY inspiration featuring fabric and textiles. Here are a few of my favorites.

Beautiful Fabric Flowers

Vintage Wallpaper Details

Recycled Vases, Jars and Pots

And last but not least, to stay true to our roots why not sew yourself a Garter Belt using an infamous Liberty of London's Scarf. This is probably one of my favorites.

Fun Fact: 009. Fabric is sold in the fabric showroom at Liberty's of London.

Cushion of the Week - #2

Its time for the Cushion of the Week. Check out this beautiful hand woven cushion by Sukan on Etsy.

All of the pillows are covered with an antique Kilim, a kind of rug made from wool and colored with natural dyes. The design above is one of my favorites on the site, consisting of Anatolian and Middle Eastern Patterns. I love the vibrant colours mixed with the traditional print.

Each cushion is unique so this is a great shop to check out if you are a sucker for one of a kind goods as I am. Click here to check it out and see all the designs for yourself.

Swatch Page from House & Garden

copyright 2011 House & Garden Magazine

So I've finally just recieved the swatch page from the February 2011 issue off House & Garden showing 009 Textiles Leopard Pansy print front and center.

I must say I love this layout. It works beautifully as a page. From an interior design point I would love to create a material board resembling this. I just love the depth from the shadowing giving it both depth and space.
