I was talking with my roommate the other night and he didn't know the origin of the paisley shape! I was shocked, but maybe it's not the common knowledge I thought it was. (Hint: it's not cats)

Paint It, Paisley (kate), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

It could be, kate, but my understanding is that it comes from the shape of a fist. The original paisleys, created back in some pre-rayon stone age, were made by making a fist, painting the pinky-side of that fist, and then pressing that side down on a surface. If you do it with your hand you'll see what I mean.

Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

It's probably both explanations, as people noticed that the shape the fist made looked pleasingly like a yin/yang and so carried on doing it.

Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

Also, it is supposed to be a fertility symbol or something.

Miss AMP wrote a whole article about how paisley is EVIL and PAGAN or something, but that just made me love it more.

It's also supposed to look like a bodhi tree leaf. I have never seen a bodhi tree though so I wouldn't know.

I have a jeans jacket made from this stuff
https://www.sherwoodsfabrics.co.uk/damaris

I need to construct a pair of jeans that I have cut in this too but came out much too large when I tried making them at the start of the year

https://www.sherwoodsfabrics.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/110x75/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/d/a/damaris-gallery-1.jpg

Material turned out to be a lot more stretchy than I'd expected too. So I don't think it was 100% cotton as advertised

There wasa paisley that used to be available from the same firm that had colours like this but was far more teardrop orientated
https://www.sherwoodsfabrics.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/thumbnail/110x75/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/v/a/valerie-green.jpg

I do like the fact that there are a lot more Middle eastern designs that are available than Paisley though Paisley is till the most familiar of them. Want to find out more about what the alternatives are though.
Don't really know names beyond paisley but that only denotes the style with the teardrop at its core and i think it has a different name originally, before production moved to Scotland.

Stevolende, Friday, 25 November 2016 14:17 (eight years ago)

I made a pair of jeans in that Olive on white paisley but I think it was a discontinued range. That lower design in the above post is on reduced sale price so is probably on its way out too. Forgot I had this image

I also have a shirt made from an exploded paisley cotton designed for curtains that i've made in a design based on a frontier shirt. Nice off white with flecks of a few different colours in places

There was also this stuff
http://sewing.patternreview.com/images/thumbnails/pattern/118539/photo1.jpg
which I made into a jacket and a pair of jeans. It's a babycord. Haven't seen any new designs for this year in babycord so far and this is the season that they tend to appear in.

I also made this shirt in a Paisley lawn cotton last year
