Plaids

Here’s a new one in my fabric and pattern book library: Plaids: A Visual Survey of Pattern Variations (A Schiffer Design Book)by Tina Skinner, 1998. Lots of color and pattern inspiration here — it definitely confirms my love of plaids and checks. The link is to Amazon but I found mine used for cheap, and I bet you can too, perhaps on a remainder table in your local bookshop?

Also in the series: Abstract Textile Designs, Art Deco Textile Designs, Metallic Textile Designs, Stripes: A Survey of Fabric Designs, Dots: A Pictorial Essay on Pointed, Printed Patterns, Paisley: A Visual Survey of Pattern and Color Variations, Foulards: A Picture Book of Prints for Men’s Wear, and quite a few others.
