My last Sew Weekly post started off with a paragraph about my warm feelings towards the colour yellow: I can’t get enough of it. Right now I’m filling up my Pinterest boards with yellow loveliness:

At work the other day, a colleague and I happened to be talking about colour in the context of classrooms (as a Speech and Language Therapist, I work in schools on a consultative basis, so I see a lot of different classrooms. Some of them are so visually cluttered that I find it hard to focus – I have no idea how the kids cope). So my colleague then emailed me a handout she’d been given about emotional response to colour. Apparently, yellow is: “recognised by humans faster than any other colour, evokes spontaneity, is joyful, optimistic, warm and signifies communication”. It’s even greater than I thought!
Just as well I’ve got some more yellow fabric waiting for my attention then.
Ooo, I love yellow! It’s my favorite color, but I have very few yellow clothing items – these pictures make me want more! I have a hard time finding yellow fabric though, so I’m jealous of your two pieces waiting to be made into something fabulous!
You’re right, why is it so hard to find interesting yellow fabric?
