Fabric Swatches for your fashion design collections or portfolio
Choosing and using fabric swatches in fashion sketches…..what does it look like, where to start?
(I’m so glad for my clients’ questions).
Yesterday one student asked:
“why would I want to collect fabric swatches that I can’t buy and use? Why would I want a big stash of random fabric swatches?”

i swatches clearly labeled with fabric descriptions
****here’s another YouTube video with an incredible resource for a wide range of beautiful fashion fabrics sourced from NYC fashion garment center!
You’ll be able to exercise bringing together patterns, textures, colors in a free-form and intuitive way for sheer enjoyment.
ENGAGE IN YOUR PLAY STATE!!!
The “little girl ” or boy inside of you definitely brought you here today in more ways that you are maybe willing to admit.
Am i right?
one of the biggest mistakes that can happen when we come to design education is that we start watering- down our true design DNA to please our teachers…. instead of ourselves.
Your SELF is your key to all of your knowing!
It’s the key to your motivation!
It’s the key to your joy and true service in the world !
Loving what you do and doing it from a deep place of connection, love, fun, freedom and flow is ESSENTIAL.
It also opens the doors to the energy it takes to do things that seem impossible.
When you love what you do, you never get “tired”-
You are driven by a force far beyond your self!
Don’t forget that!
Love Laura
