This captivating and motivational book, penned by a renowned British textile designer, delves into the art of painting and creating patterns on fabric. Fabrics infuse our lives with vibrant hues and charm, enhancing the creativity and allure of our clothing and home decor. In this enlightening book, lifelong textile designer Sarah Campbell takes you on a journey through her world of pattern and color, unveiling the delights of design, ranging from dots, stripes, and checks to more unexpected decorative solutions. Painting directly onto fabric presents a distinct experience compared to designing for digital production. Every creation is unique, with the power to place patterns and colors at your discretion. The beauty lies in the fact that the pattern doesn't have to repeat; a single bird or square, if placed correctly, can suffice. Beautifully illustrated with Sarah's vibrant and internationally acclaimed work, her fabric designs showcase the comforting rhythm and universal language of pattern.

Learn how to create your own distinctive designs using a variety of tools and techniques, including brushes, potato cuts, stencils, and simple 'kitchen cupboard resists.' Explore the joys of painting on different fabrics, such as cotton, linen, silk, and calico/muslin. Develop your understanding of scale, color, tonality, and the organization of pattern ideas, alongside suggestions on how to use your finished fabrics.
