Looks like 2013 is going to be a good year for "Halloween" fabrics! (I use quotes because in my world these prints are worn year-round.) Let's take a peek at some of them.
How about if we start with dessert? And what could be better than Goth cupcakes? This one is so much fun! I especially love the ripped fishnet with safety pins.
I'm not a huge fan of skulls, but I bet some of you will like this pile o' skulls fabric:
I prefer the cuter, smaller scale skulls:
Chandelier motifs have been popular for a while:
Alexander Henry can always be counted on for interesting designs. I like this in white:
It also comes in pink, grey and red:
I like both the grey and the purple of this print of owls and ravens in spooky trees, though it kind of looks like the owl is peering through binoculars:
For those who like their owls cute, there's this:
I love the cute swirls on the webs in this spiderweb print, which is available in grey, black and purple:
For a more subtle spiderweb experience, there's this one:
And for cute smiling spiders, this one:
Then there's this spideriferous lime green fabric which kind of freaks me out.
But that's nothing compared to the absolute HORROR of this one. It's a fabric adapted from a movie adapted from a book! :P
Okay, enough of the shirtless wolf boys and sparkly vampires. Let's move on to the glow-in-the-dark spiderwebs:
This bat print is from last year but still available. I can never have too many bat prints!
I like that this one has moons as well as bats:
Orange says "Halloween," but this is more of a red-orange, so I might not limit it to October:
And finally, my personal holy grail of fabrics -- purple with black bats. If I only buy one fabric this year (yeah, right!), it will be this one.
These fabrics are really adorable! I love the small skulls, the chandeliers and both the owls fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOwl motifs were popular last year. I was happy to see them again this year. :)
DeleteOhhhhh, ahhhhhh! Everyday is Halloween (fabric) ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE! Oh, have I plans for some of these beauties ... big time! MWAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDeleteMe, too. The hard part will be deciding which project to sew first!
Delete:D These fabrics are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many good ones this year. :D
Delete"I use quotes because in my world these prints are worn year-round."
ReplyDeleteMy exact sentiments ;)
The purple bat chandelier and purple swirly spider webs has been sitting in my basket for days now; unable to hit that checkout, but unwilling to just let go hehe.
I wear these types of prints year-round... and you know, I get compliments year-round. No one has ever made any "Halloween is in October" type comments.
DeleteThe purple swirly spiderwebs fabric is toward the top of my list. I like pale purple with black.
Oooooh, I think I just died and went to Goth heaven... or wherever...
ReplyDeleteHa ha... I'm sure they have sewing machines there. :D
DeleteWelllllllll foo, I'm broke. Time to start rolling coins....
ReplyDeleteSame here. Just my luck, lots of good fabrics come out the year I'm unemployed. :P
DeleteI already had my eyes on that chandelier fabric, but thanks for alerting me to the black spiders on green. I will be adding it my absurdly large stash, which I am barely chipping away at.
ReplyDeleteI saw that Twilight fabric (or one very similar) for sale in JoAnn's, and my first thought was "I don't want to live in a world where this exists."
I like the spiders on green, but at the same time, it sort of freaks me out. I think it's the large scale... they're not just spiders, they're BIG spiders.
DeleteHa ha! My thought on the Twilight fabric was, "Will this madness ever end?!" I feel bad for all the unfortunate grandmothers who will be forced to sew pillowcases and quilts for their granddaughters.
I guess it would be silly to buy fabric right now to pack away, right? :P
ReplyDeleteIt would indeed be silly. ;) Be strong, you can wait. I know you have the willpower!
