Last time I posted about St. Jude’s new fabrics I neglected to point to Native Heath by Old Town … because it’s my favorite and I thought I already had posted about it! Old Town is a slow clothing manufacturer — they produce approx. 50 garments per week (in classic and functional silhouettes for men [...]
UK designer Laura Slater screenprints her line of textiles by hand in her Wakefield, West Yorkshire studio. From her About page: Designs evolve through an interplay of colour and pattern with architectural and organic elements. Hand drawn design concepts involving line, mark and texture are developed directly onto cloth in parallel to the hand finished [...]
Umbrella Prints has a new design, Patchwork II, available now in their shop (Etsy — U.S. dollars) (Big Cartel — AU dollars). It’s handprinted onto a 55% hemp/45% cotton basecloth. I love cheater prints — you can use them as-is or cut them up into squares and piece them back together, as you can see [...]
Owls is the newest fabric from Melissa Bombardiere (Melbomba), hand screenprinted in four colorways onto a 55% linen/45% cotton blend. I have a bit of all of her other fabrics (mix pack!) and just love them.
Cloth Fabric is probably the first Australian hand-screenprinting fabric company to appear on my radar. I realized I hadn’t checked in for a while and it turns out they have several new prints and other product lines going on. If you’re not familiar, Cloth is a small independent fabric company that has been operating out [...]

This collection is a collaboration between Ms. Davy and Kelani Fabric Obsession, so it’ll be sold through Kelani exclusively. Tara Davy is designer/illustrator in the magazine industry by trade. The two designs are printed in different [...]
U.K. designer Lu Summers (Summersville) has added a new hand-screenprinted fabric to her collection, called Scratch. The design was “created from a mark making exercise in pen and ink.” It comes in four colorways currently, printed on a natural cotton and is sold by the piece (9.5 x 14″/25 x 36 cm).
This is probably one of the best masculine fabric print I’ve ever seen, from one of my favorite hand-screenprinted, artisan fabric purveyors St. Jude’s. It’s called Herring Moon and it’s by artist Jonathan Gibbs, and it’s available in three colorways on 100% heavyweight cotton, as meterage or as pre-made cushion covers.

Lu Summers (Summersville) has added a new hand-screenprinted fabric to her arsenal, called Loops. It’s a natural oatmeal-colored cotton with natural slubs and flecks of cotton seed. She says it’s an experiment in larger-scale designs for her. It comes in four colorways, and is sold by the 10″x14″ piece.
{ Folklore Fish interlock knit for Ikasyr } I found Finnish designer Hanna Ruusulampi through Spoonflower, which led me not only to her amazing online portfolio (see English version of the fabric portfolio here) but also to a treasure trove of Finnish fabric shops. Hanna designed the interlock knit design Folklore Fish for the shop/mini-manufacturer [...]
{ Bows } Sarah Waterhouse has some new prints and new colorways of older prints.

U.K. screenprinting artist Lu Summers has a new fabric in her shop (Summersville), a clever/simple/cool pattern of different paintbrush strokes. It comes in a few colors including this darker teal. The 10×14″ pieces are great for small projects.
