Maybe I shouldn’t point it out, as I don’t know if anyone’s actually noticed, but so far every single one of my fabrics so far has been printed in just a single colour. However, that’s all changed now, with my brand new design called Flower Fields.
It’s got two (count them, TWO!) colours in each print. It’s a breakthrough moment! We’re all turning cartwheels at Skinny laMinx!
Flower Fields in (L-R): Goldenrod, Penny Black, Rosy
The inspiration for Flower Fields came from a vintage fabric cushion we’ve had at home for years. My design started out as a paper cutout of the same kind of flower shape (see below), which I made ages ago just for fun. Earlier this year, I turned it into a repeat, but never got around to putting it on fabric because I simply couldn’t decide which colours it should be printed in. It was only when I decided to use two colours that suddenly everything fell into place.
Now Flower Fields is available for sale online as cushions (here in US$, and here in ZAR)…
… and Flower Fields is also available in upholstery lengths. I covered our Ercol daybed at home in the Penny Black colourway, and it looks so fab! Email me for fabric orders and queries.
Beautiful! I think the two colour idea is a winner. Looks really great in the last pic.
I love it Heather, still on the look out for a bargain Ercol daybed myself and when it does come along I’ll definitely be getting some skiny laminx cushions to match.
Love love love them!
