Textile Designer Amy Butler

I got a sewing machine last Christmas, so curtain fabrics are very much on my mind. While I have visions of Kravat, Duralee and Schumacher (Imperial Trellis, anyone?), I simply cannot bear the $100+ per yard price tags. Enter Amy Butler. Her aesthetic is all about vintage with a modern twist. Big, splashy flowers done in graphic fashion. With just a bit of searching, it can be found for sale online at prices ranging from $8 to $15 a yard. Which leaves one some money, and fabric, left over for matching dresses and babushkas (for when one is having a "Sound of Music" moment, naturally).
