Well I’m pretty excited everyone, I’ve released seven fabric patterns as part of a winter collection now available in my shop. For me, designing fabrics is the ultimate DIY project, from the inspiration that strikes to the execution and digital design that occurs in Photoshop or Illustrator, followed up by colorization, printing, and styling.
It’s the middle of winter and where I live in Northern California, the colors are pale and earthy as we await the blooms that will arrive in April. Nature’s neutral palette inspired a winter collection of seven patterns in gray and driftwood colorways, also included are paler hues from blush pink to mint green and icy blue.
There’s a giant oak tree that lives up the road from my house that has lived there for decades and its sculptural branches speak to me even in the gloomiest months.
I had to include the grand tree in the Lookbook I put together as I styled the various fabrics around the house and in my small studio – you’ll find patterns I’ve featured in the past . . .
. . . and a few new patterns I’m just introducing.
See all seven patterns by browsing this Lookbook.
I’m working on many more new patterns in vivid hues arriving in the Spring, meanwhile enjoy this latest collection!

Love your fabrics. You are a busy girl and I love your new photo.
So pretty and refreshing colorway.
These look great Kate, fantastic work!
I really like the cool and neutral colours you’ve used.
I’m also a massive fan of the photos in your lookbook. Really bright and modern!
Good job :)

So beautiful. Beautifully designed and beautifully styled.
I love your new designs! They feel so light and airy. I’m now scheming ways to use them in my home!
I’ve been looking for some fabric for a tufted headboard I’m making, and I think that one of your headboards might just be what I’ve been looking for! Thank you!
My goodness, you have a gift, Kate! These fabrics are absolutely lovely and would bring light into any home. It’s snowing and blowing like the sirens today, lovely, cold and white — yet we’re longing for Spring. Your fabrics almost have a fragrant foretelling of Spring. Just beautiful!
