Have you seen the newly released fabric range, Daydream? It is one of the sweetest fabrics ranges I have seen. The gelati colours and whimsical designs that depict the joy of childhood games are perfect for so many projects. Designed by Patty Basemi for Art Gallery Fabrics, the collection of 12 pretty fabrics all feature different designs but work so well together.
