Volksfaden Fabric Inspiration
I've been dying to get my hands on some fabric for Spring and though I have no clue what I'll do with any of it I went on a bit of a spree a few days ago online at Volksfaden. This is a web-based shopped owned by an American living in Berlin and so that is where I usually go for fabrics when I'm looking for ones from American designers. I guess I needed a little fabric fix from the mothership. Here are the ones I had to have... they made me feel so Spring-y. And I'm on the whole chevron bandwagon with the rest of the blog world, so of course I needed to add a few of those to the pile. Here's a glimpse of what was inside of my little magic package that arrived in the mail today. Spring in a box!

I'm sure I missed some, but you can have a look around the Volksfaden site to find some favorites of your own. If you live in Germany, or the EU, this is a great way to get fabric from the states I think as shipping can get quite expensive if you're ordering a lot from outside of the EU.
8 prints in blues, greens and yellows. So fresh and ready to be transformed in pillows. I'm been dying to get rolling on some of my Amy Butler patterns.
These remind me of the coast and I imagine how nice they'd look on a covered balcony or patio.
I like these patterns because together, they remind me of a sweet little baby. Many of my friends are pregnant or have little ones and when I added just a few cute accents to the mix I noticed how perfect these patterns really would be in a baby's room.
The wavy pattern is so versatile, it goes great with almost all of the patterns that I purchased.
I dream of someday owning a new pale blue or white Fiat. I'm just crazy for them. I love the vintage ones too, but I think a new one would be better for weekends up on the coast. My neighbor has a pale blue fiat and I have had my nose to the window more than once inspecting the interior. :) Last year I bought myself a toy Fiat that I display in my cabinet as a reminder of my dream. And aren't these sweet prints so playful, I just adore the mini trees and the kids with the umbrellas.
