20th Century Pattern Design –

Based on a comment posted to my first monthly-textile-related-book-posting last month, I’m adding 20th Century Pattern Design by Leslie Jackson to the category for May. I’ve also added it to my Amazon wish list! Amazon says “currently unavailable” with no idea when it will be back in stock. So it’s a rare commodity! Weighing in at 3+ pounds and with 200+ pages it looks like a real find.

Sofia at Contemporary Cloth –

Here’s a great pattern named “Sofia” from the website contemporary cloth. Only $16.50 a yard! And three colorways to choose from — the two here plus a sweet pink and green. The black and white could be very urban / chic while the orange and yellow begs to be joined up with some ’70s avocado green.
