Alternative colour scheme. Not a pattern for fabrics, but one produced from a jpg of a stack of fabric items that was posted on Pixabay. The tile that this is based on can be had by selecting the rectangle in Inkscape and using shift+alt+i.

Someone was asking about how to achieve a fur pattern at #inkscape irc so tried to make a filter on it. Flood filled fractal noises rigged together. May someone find a good use for these.

Different from the original in being a simple tile stored as a pattern definition, rather than numerous repeated objects. Hence easy and quick to give this pattern to objects of different shapes. To get the tile in Inkscape, select the rectangle and use shift+alt+i.
