Vicki Payne introduces new line of decorator fabrics for Westminster Fibers

Vicki Payne, DIY expert and host of the popular For Your Home series on PBS and Glass with Vicki Payne show recently introduced a new line of decorator fabrics for Westminster Fibers, designed to give anyone, whether new to home decorating or a seasoned pro, the economy to decorate in beautiful chic colors and vibrant prints.

“It was important that this line speak across generations not only in terms of look but also in terms of the sewer’s or decorator’s investment,” said Payne, who has been sewing and creating home textile products on her television show for over a decade.

The collection, entitled For Your Home, incorporates 17 different patterns in four major coordinating colorways, each measuring 54 inches in width and retailing for $15 a yard, a fraction of the cost of most color decorator weight fabrics.

“For less than a yard of fabric, anyone, especially a new sewer, can try her hand at making her own pillows to instantly change the look of a room or draw a room together simply based on color and prints,” said Payne. “A minimal investment may encourage her to try it herself and perpetuate a lifetime hobby or craft.”

It’s this desire to get others to try new skills that drives Payne. Her experiences are reflected in her fabric from the style entitled Savory, reminiscent of her teaching so many to make stained glass art, to Chippendale, a direct reflection of a traditional design with a contemporary flair, the exact way Payne approaches any home renovation.
