Dada da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da. Hello and

Helen the designer behind Helen's closet patterns and Cedar Quilt Co.

And I'm Caroline the owner of

Blackbird fabrics and B.F. patterns.

We're two sewing buds who love to sew and it's the only thing we're talking about.

Today's episode is about one of our very favorite fabrics, Indian block prints.

We're going to talk about the rich history of these textiles,

the process of making them, and where to buy them.

We also share a bunch of pattern ideas and sewing tips

so that you can incorporate these dreamy, light, beautiful

fabrics into your wardrobe.

If you love to sew, this is your show.

Hello Helen. Hi Caroline you're looking good in your block print dress over there. I

had to you know it was the right outfit for the day.

I love it, it's the perfect view.

Thank you.

Yeah, I am obsessed with block prints,

as I know you are too, and all the birdies over

at Blackbird fabrics.

Y'all have the best block prints.
