Fujiyoshi Brother’s TEXTILE

Kaleidoscope of colors create magical rhythms

The Much-awaited Fujiyoshi Brother’s TEXTILE is finally here! Fujiyoshi Brother’s is an art unit formed by two brothers, Taichiro Fujiyoshi (older brother) and Koutaro Fujiyoshi (younger brother) in 2000. Their works are very distinctive with vivid colors and dynamic touches. The brothers are active in various fields of the art world including live painting, movies and theatrical arts. The world of Fujiyoshi Brother’s is now re-created into a fabric. The first of the series is themed, “Walk of Eyes.” Koutaro says, “Gorgeously colored animals and a bit mysterious plants…I hope you enjoy the rhythm created through a combination of these creatures and colors.” With such an eye-catching design, these fabrics are perfect not only for children’s clothing and bags but also for interior décor accents such as fabric panels.

tiketiketic

Fabric panels with sewing motif designs

Today we are pleased to introduce you to a fabric panel called tiketiketic. In French, tiketiketic means the sound of a sewing machine. Favorite sewing-related motifs such as torsos, sewing machines and small buttons are tightly gathered in a single fabric design. Large panels are perfect for making bags, while small panels are great for creating handy pouches. Depending on how you select and cut the fabric, the tiketiketic fabric presents endless possibilities. To make a bag for example, you can use the main panel for the outer side, borders for the bag’s handles, and the remaining motifs for the side gusset. Creating sewing related small articles such as a sewing notions case and pin cushion will add more fun to your crafting moments.
