Earlier in my post on how I plan my sewing, I told you all that I usually pick a handful of colors to use
throughout my sewing. I usually pick at least one main color, a
couple secondary colors and a couple neutrals that coordinate well.
And then I use those colors as a guide when I go to buy my fabric. I
try to purchase at least one print that has all or most of those
colors in it so that everything can mix and match together.
Often, I go off the Pantone colors. Way back when, Pantone got to the place where they basically announce what
the “it” colors are for each season. Even if you do not follow
the trends strictly, this can be helpful because the odds are; the
stores are following these trends and will have collections that have
those colors in abundance.
Another option to determine what colors
you want to go with is to simply Google “fashion color boards”
and find things like:
 |
| art design fashion |
Mood fabric has “mood” boards from
which you can draw inspiration.
Or, if there is a fabric collection
that a store offers, you can simply use the coordinated fabrics.
JoAnn has one called Doodles that has several varieties of knit,
woven, and pant weight fabrics.
Online fabric stores like fabric.com
also have “design walls” that you can post your fabric choices to
ensure they all coordinate.
