Artisan Design Trio

3 fabrications and 3 tones

 

Reminiscent of simple pottery designs, this print is rendered in only two tones. We have this print in three fabrications. The shades vary from each other depending on the fabrication that is printed.  Use them together or choose one. These fabrics could be used in the same garment if the color variants would not offend you. RTW would likely do it, but we sewists can be picky about matching. We just want you to know that although they are the same design, the colors vary. 

 Ceramics:  This silk georgette is flowy and muted.  The soft amethyst and dusty violet are low contrast with one another.  Suitable for blouses, scarves, or lined dresses

Pottery: The clear iris and bright violet color combination is vibrant and shows well on the cotton/silk base cloth.  It is most suitable for tops, skirts and dresses

Crockery:The deep lilac and red violet tones on this cotton/nylon stretch satin speak to a slightly warmer palette. It is suitable for structured tops, skirts or dresses
 

 
 cotton jersey            
 
 
Our customers never tire of cotton jersey knit. This colorful print is a great choice for tanks, tees, tunics or dresses. Banana yellow, deep turquoise, and tangerine team with teal and white. Accents in pine green, black and red complete the array. The vertical design features bands of beautiful native-inspired art.

 
rayon nylon ponte knit                
 
Our favorite blend for a ponte knit, now in a summer pastel! Great choice for a sleeveless dress or a lightweight jacket. Carry it forward to other seasons by making separates. Rayon/Nylon/spandex.
 
printed linen                 
 
We love this Italian printed linen for its soft hand and delicate print. Tiny blue flowers are stemmed in breen and tossed on a soft sage ground. Perfect for dresses, skirts or structured tops. 
 
4 way stretch cotton twill                
 
 
Four-way cotton stretch twill in a pale yellow/green shade that is perfect for shorts, crops straight skirts or jackets.
