Okay, if it’s possible to have a total FAVE outside of PS designs, then these French canvas fabrics from Les Toiles du Soleil (“canvas of the sun”) have to be mine. They just scream summertime and the beach! The best news is that on top of using them to make our awesome French canvas journals (handmade at Paper Source here in Chicago), we are now selling the cloth online by the meter– ideal for summer craft projects! I have been hoping for years that we could offer it by the meter, so with five summery patterns now to choose from it’s a dream come true for me.
The tough part was then figuring out how to make everything I want with the cloth. I started with an easy table runner (no sewing required and it looked super cute), then some cool “across the table” place mats to cover all the paint on my table from years of art projects.
Eventually I plan to sew a pillow cover for my comfy new reading chair, and make a cute summer beach bag that lives in my imagination… the list goes on, you get the idea.
If you’re interested in fun ideas for both canvas fabric and summertime parties check out this month’s Summertime Parties Workshop in stores to get started.
Cheers!

Thanks for letting me know about this blog! I love Paper Source and I’m looking forward to future posts.
Fabulous! I just posted on Les Toiles du Soleil last week! Tons of interest from readers…I will definitely point folks your way since the fabric is not available on the LTdS website. You should visit the store in Chelsea if you haven’t already…a FEAST for the eyes!!
Love them. Just beautiful and the new journals you are offering with them are divine!
Hi Linda,
THe blog looks amazing, congrats to the team! I am excited to see more updates as we move into summer and them back to school! (though that is a far away thought at this point:) And thanks for the comment on my blog, I appreciate it!
Cheers-
