Textiles & Fabrics Crafty Tip
The secret to designing with textiles? It's in the swatches! Think of a swatch as the physical embodiment of an idea - one with color, form and texture. And then combine that idea (in the form of a swatch) with others, until, five, ten, or fifteen swatches later, you have the visual representation of your BIG IDEA - one which you may never have come to with your ideas alone. That's the power of the swatch. Use it wisely!
