Whenever I go into a fabric store, I become so mesmerized in the patterns and feel of the fabric I completely lose track of time. If I had the choice, I would just live there.  I love beautiful fabrics and the possibilities that await within them. I am a particular  fan of the Nani Iro Fuccra fabric by Kokka. Naomi Ito is the amazing Japanese designer who makes fabric seem more like a water color painting than fabric. Her designs bring back a time of simplicity, when the art of crafting and sewing was a necessity, rather than a choice. As we edge deeper into this 21 st century, I urge you take the time out to have a cup of tea, slow the afternoon down and play with this simple and feminine fabric. This fabric would be darling for little girl dresses, skirts & more. Her new 2010 collection can be found at Matatabi.

She even makes these sweet little wooden buttons.
