An early 1950's pottery company, Stengl, produced a trend setting design in 1954 called "Amber Glo". Part of the charm was the leaf print, almost like a flame with a brush stroke style. When I saw this newly released "Naturewalk" leaf print in 100% cotton fabric pattern by Cloud 9, I saw that same leaf style. This time the leaf is in repeat in an all over motif. What better fabric to sew into a crisp vintage style blouse or throw pillows for the Nelson style sofa?
Simple fashion styles are perfect for busy cotton prints. These vintage sewing patterns are easy to make, and will work into any modern wardrobe. Busy prints need clean lines to show off the colors and details like these patterns do.
