Amy Butler {Pattern Genius}

March 2nd, 2009 @ 11:36 am by Wiley Valentine

I have always been a fan of Amy Butler.  She has the most amazing ability to create textile patterns that are insanely gorgeous. Her use of color and pattern style is so unique and very addictive.

The way the pattern collections are presented on the Web site is so fun. Each collection gets its own logo and imagery. They are then grouped in color palettes. Some of the collections also have lifestyle shots of items made from her fabrics, like the one above. I love that apron!!

The other thing that is fun about Amy's designs is that she sells a whole slew of products that incorporate her textile patterns, such as purses, pillows and dinnerware. She even has a bunch of free downloads for DIY projects!

I’m just learning to sew and I’ve been eyeing her patterns and fabrics! I can’t wait until I’m comfortable enough with sewing to splurge on some of her stuff!

My first introduction to Amy Butler was in a purse that I bought on my first visit to our reception site. Now, I’m using her lotus wallpaper fabric in cherry for table runners (and other fabric touches) at our reception. I also used her lotus on my invitation suite and on our escort cards. Love it!

There is a great Etsy seller, Perdoozy, who makes pin-up aprons, and she often uses Amy Butler fabrics:

I got one for my bridal shower, and it is so cute!

Amy Butler fabric is the main decor element of my wedding reception (and my little people too!) My niece’s flowergirl dress (http://www.shabbyapple.com/p-185-canary.aspx) is made from Midwest Modern fabrics and we’re made my nephews ties and our table center doilies from it too. Love it!

Hi BreeAnn,
That sounds amazing. And that flowergirl dress is to die for! I would love to see the photos of your wedding after its all said and done! Maybe even a post on it? Keep in the loop.
Thanks for sharing.
