Repro Depot is an established go-to for vintage and vintage-inspired prints. Even when I’m not in the mood to buy, I find myself browsing their listings just to see the yummy vintage prints.

Now, Repro Depot has created two collections of printable vintage-inspired textile patterns. You can use these patterns to create stationery and other papercraft projects. The collection is divided into two volumes, Flora and Folk. Available for $24.95 each from Chronicle Books. Link to the Flora collection. Link to the Folk collection.

Sneak Peek: Little Folks voile by Anna Maria Horner

anneweaver — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:39:39 +0000

The news that Anna Maria Horner has a new collection coming out made my stomach do a little jump. The news that it was on a lightweight voile fabric (instead of a quilting cotton) made it do a little jig. It coordinates with the Good Folks line, but the prints are scaled smaller for making children’s clothes. See swatches of the full line at The Fabric Shopper’s Fabric Gallery.
