Lecien Color Basic Vol. 2
I wasn’t sure you’d want to see a whole slideshow of just stripes and polka dots in different scales, so I just included a couple images here. But you can see the entire set of Lecien’s Color Basic Vol. 2 in my True Up Flickr account or on the Lecien website.
I think I’ve mentioned before how nutty I am for this Color Basic collection. When I talked about my ideal stash in my stash interview, I neglected to mention endless bolts of this stuff as part of my fantasy. I use stripes or polka dots in just about every project, so having access to such a wide range of color combinations and scales would be a dream come true. The only thing is is that it’s hard to pay Japanese fabric prices for such basic prints.
Matatabi has lots of fat quarters and Superbuzzy has some fat quarter bundles and charm packs — both are nice ways to get a variety of prints for a not-huge investment. Please leave other sighting in the comments!
















my favorite source for these prints is Fabric Shack – they don’t have many of the newer ones in stock, but they have a decent selection, price per yard between $6-$9, and they sell small pieces (quarter yards and maybe eights as well).

Jenny beat me to it – I was also going to suggest Fabric Shack. Great prices and a HUGE selection of fabric. They even have some Amy Butler Charm fabric on sale for $4.98.
