Modern Robe in Philip Jacobs and Kaffe Fassett Fabrics

It's no wonder that fabric designers such as Kaffe Fassett and Philip Jacobs have inspired sewers the world over.  Who could resist these lush florals and brilliant colors?  One shop in California selected Philip Jacobs' fall 2011 "Iris and Peony" design for their Modern Robe sample, along with a purple-and-red Kaffe Fassett "Spots" fabric for the sash.  We couldn't wait to share the shop sample with you! These gorgeous fabrics are certain to brighten up the winter days ahead.

This combination is like a lush floral bouquet, rendered in fabric. The "Iris and Peony" design comes in four beautiful colorways, shown below:

Modern Robe in Kaffe Fassett for a Hawaii girl

Debra lives on the big island of Hawaii. Each morning she walks from her hale to an outdoor shower. She wanted a cool cotton robe that would reflect her tropical surroundings while providing privacy for her morning trek. She picked out a beautiful Kaffe Fassett print in purple and orange, along with an eye-catching floral print in orange and pink for the sash. Wow.

This color combinations - of purple, orange and pink - give the fabric a real 1960's vibe (as do many of Kaffe Fassett's colorways !)  This fabric has an incredibly smooth "hand", and is a dream to sew with. You can also see a Modern Robe in batik, with a Kaffe Fassett sash, in our previous post.
