Mushroom Wave

I thought this was pretty and a bit unusual for Japanese fabrics. Mushroom Wave is available in three colorways from Superbuzzy.

Daily Swatch: Past Theme Rewind

There are several themes I’ve run here on the Daily Swatch that deserve a second run, but I’ve only come across one or two additional feature-worthy designs, not enough to fill an entire week.

Mushrooms From the Oughts

In looking for vintage mushroom fabric this week, I came across tons of contemporary mushrooms too. I dare say they are more popular now than they were in their 60s-70s heyday.

Daily Swatch: Mushrooms

The Daily Swatch shows one piece of vintage fabric (almost) every day. Themes change periodically. You are welcome to add your own examples of the theme to the True Up and/or Vintage Fabric Flickr Pools. Mushrooms seem to me a strange motif to become as popular as it did in the 60s-70s. Veiled drug reference, [...]
