sallykate Dec 2021 6:48pm, 3 Dec 2021 8,544 posts	0 sallykate A long shot but I wondered if anyone has seen poplin or lawn in an art nouveau sort of print? Someone asked whether I could make a mask out of some fabric I used for a bag (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1022029649/boxy-bag-art-nouveau) but it's furnishing weight, no good for a mask. I thought Liberty might have something but the William Morris designs are a bit fussy. This is the closest I found, but the pattern repeat is a bit big, I was thinking of something more delicate: doughtysonline.co.uk Have looked at all my usual suspects for online fabrics.

sallykate Dec 2021 6:58pm, 3 Dec 2021 8,545 posts	0 sallykate Thanks HB! I know you've helped me previously when I've been looking for specific themes of fabric. Link again as I forgot we need a clear space either side etsy.com
