One of the few full-color patterns here, but this one was just too good to pass up.

Three shades of gray makes this pattern look like a small carbon fiber surface. Great readability even for small fonts.

Did anyone say The Hoff? This pattern is in no way related to Baywatch.

A slightly more textured pattern, medium gray. A bit like a potato sack?

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.

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.
