Indie (advanced yardage) is here!!!
July 19, 2012
Hi everyone! This is Pat here :)
Okay... I know. This is the time I feel like a proud mama... But you see, every fabric line is like a child to me. I LOVE to design and, in a way, I see myself fulfilled in each collection. It is a wonderful feeling, of joy, renewal and a refill of "zing" into my body that takes me -in time- until I have to design the next one.
Every time I get my advanced yardage of a line is the happiest moment, and with INDIE is no exception! I love this group!! It's very rich in design and saturated with color that I can't wait to show you how many things you can do with it :)
I feel over the moon when you land on this blog and get inspired... because my ultimate goal is to inspire you! But as well as you, I love to be inspired when I create, so if you ask me where I got my creative juices for this line, I think it would be OK to show you with these pictures that put together tell a story...
Two names come for the inspiration of this line: Antropologie and Klimt.
INDIE is an imaginary trip made to a world of long heritage of craftsmanship and artisans...
I was so in love when spotted this trend shared by Anthropologie some time ago.
By the moment I went to my inspiration boards to design new prints (I collect lots of pictures in folders), I had this one filled by so many incredible pictures of products! I didn't hesitate to do something from all this beauty!!
INDIE celebrates austere, "back to the roots" beauty with globally-inspired prints in an eclectic palette.
I've enjoyed very much experiencing this kind the spiritual journey for this collection and hope you can start creating your own handmade memories very soon :)
It comes in two color stories: Midnight Temple and Sunlight Bazaar

The girls and I have been brainstorming for the video and we have all started having fun creating the styling and coming up with quilt and garment ideas.... we may have gone to far but I think you ladies will enjoy it when is ready.
I'll post more pictures soon when we start the shooting. So exciting!!
INDIE will be hitting stores first week of August, so there's no much time left to start having fun with these prints! Hope you love them as much as I do :)
All my love,
Pat
