You're Invited! Launch Party for Lotta Jansdotter's Brand New Fabric Line, Echo!

We have seen her sew, stamp, stencil and more. We've read her books and drooled over her creations. And now, we are honored to announce the launch of Lotta Jansdotter's very first US fabric line, Echo... brought to us by the equally enthused Windham Fabrics.

 

Please join us at Purl Soho, the evening of Tuesday, October 18th at 7PM to meet Lotta and to celebrate her talent!

Lotta's new Echo collection inhabits her Scandinavian roots and her DIY spirit. Her whimsical aesthetic is paired with an unmatched graphic boldness. Inspired by the Nordic landscape, yet designing for the urban dweller, there's something for everyone here!

Come raise a toast to Lotta!  

• Event Details:  Purl Soho, 459 Broome Street, NY, NY 10013, Tuesday, October 18th at 7PM 

You might just win one of the five raffle prizes which include the never before sold fabrics from Echo, generously donated by Windham Fabrics. PLUS, spoiler alert... our guest of honor has dropped the hint that everyone will be going home with a must-have party bag! We hope to see you there!

Very Marimekko? That's so cool to have your own fabric line...if I were in NYC that night I'd swing on by! I can never touch too much (or own) too much fabric.

Oh don't I wish I could go!

Nice prints. How about an opportunity to win a party bag for those of us that are virtual Purl Bee fans. On the west coast with no plans at the moment to b in NYC but I will be purchasing some of those prints.

Thanks,

[Shayna]

Is any of it upholstery weight (not home dec, but really truly strong enough to put on a chair)? Pllleeeaaasse say yes!

[Annie]

This is a really beautiful collection. I love the colours - the grey napkin and orange placemat combination are perfect!

[Jean Rabinowitz]

So beautiful! I can't wait to see and sew it! Congratulations, Lotta!

[Susan]

I'd like the pattern for the short-sleeved pullover dresses worn in photograph #1 and #3. The fabrics are very cool!

Hi Shayna-

Unfortunately these fabrics are lightweight quilting cotton, not upholstery weight.

Thank you for your question!- Molly

[Cat]

Wow, these fabrics are gorgeous! When will they be available for sale! XO

[purl bee]

Hi Cat-

They should be available by October 18th.

Thanks so much for your question!

Wish I could go! Always fun to have a line with my name :) especially when it is so BEAUTIFUL!!

[Lindsay]

I wish I could go! I love the new fabrics.

[eleanor rock]

I'm so excited, will we able to by the fabric on line ? My son is in need of some stylish curtains for his kitchen and perhaps a matching apron xoxo

[meredith]

Clothes are not usually on my wishlist of sewing projects but the dresses in the pictures are beautiful! I'd use this fabric to attempt a dress or an apron! This colorful fabric is inspiring and reminds me why i like to work with fabric.

[Pamie]

I fully intend to make a similar shift to the blue and white one shown in the first photo. Love the simplicity of the patterns of this fabric line.

[Yvonne]

I love the orange fabric and I love Lotta Jansdotter's book. I would make pillows lots and lots of them if I won.

[Jules Means]

Hoping to make it! Do I need to make a reservation??

[abby]

geez! a tunic or a dress just like those gals/lotta in the hatched fab. for starters . . .

[adrienne]

I see some play food, a few lovely little shift dresses for dolls and possibly a rabbit, and a clutch for myself. Thanks

[olivia]

fun! smock tops for the baby and new pillows to freshen up the home decor!

[donnalee]

I love the energy these designs exude...
Can't wait to use this for a special project!! Sweet

[michelleb]

I love the blues and grays. They would make it into a new quilt for my bedroom (not something for the kids for a change)!

[Jen]

Others have asked & I will too, where can I can a sewing pattern for those great smock dresses?
