marimekko fall preview

my sewing skills are not the best but even so, i find myself taking on sewing projects from time to time. textile arts is my go-to site anytime i need a marimekko fix. recently i received an email from textile arts previewing the new fall marimekko range. and just when i thought that marimekko couldn't possibly outdo themselves, well, they totally went and outdid themselves!

here's a small sampling of my favorite prints-

and apparently marimekko is also now offering a range of 100% certified organic cotton canvas fabrics, at just under $40 per yard-

and maybe because nat recently destroyed one of my best tea towels while completing a manly house chore, i have been obsessed with finding a replacement. i took a look-see and immediately swooned over these lovely designs-

Why is it that guys find something nice and use it for something that ruins it? Why use the white wash cloth for dusting when we have rags and if you can't find a rag, at least use a dark color wash cloth!
