What I'm working on!

I got my new fabric this week and I've been busy sewing away at my new line of Tea Towels!

I've been really getting into designing the patterns and picking the colours to make prints that i just end up falling in love with. I think i have to make a line of duvet covers next just so i can snuggle up with my new fabrics. Hmmm... New goal for 2011! Make fun duvets!


Spoonflower has been a great supplier for getting my fabric printed. If you've ever dreamt about making your own fabric then definitely check them out. I've been designing my patterns in photoshop and illustrator just because that's what i know and i get confused with anything else, but if you go to the spoonflower website they give you suggestions of other programs to use that are online.

THEY CAME!!! My fabric is here!

Well if you put it out there the universe will respond! I was hoping and praying for my first Spoonflower order to arrive today and it just did!!!

And I am soooo satisfied with the results. The colours super bright and the lines and really crisp and the fabric feels great. I am just in love right now with my new printed fabric.


So here it is. A sneak peak of my first line of teal towels. I'm still in development right now.... which is always the funnest part of running my business... so hopefully they'll be ready by the end of the month!

Woot! Woot!

Tuesday Etsy Finds! Spoonflower

I've been following the fabric printing company Spoonflower for a while now. I was a bit overwhelmed by the possibilities of what I could design and get printed on their variety of yummy fabrics and finally last week I put in my first order! Of course it took me a year to place the order and then i had to get rush shipping because i couldn't wait any longer... oh so me. So while I patiently wait for my fat quarters to arrive, I thought I'd take a peak through Etsy to find some other sellers that work with Spoonflower to print on fabric.

Above : Anglepoise by PatTheCat. A handsome modern beauty. I could see this fabric being used for a kitchen towel in a bachelor pad. So sophisticated.


Tall Kitty by bonspielcreation is a little bit intimidating with his piercing eyes, but this big sweety looks like he gives a loud prrrr when you give him a head scratch. Then he'll just melt on your lap. Prrrrfect fabric for a throw cushion.


Tea and Cakes by tamaragarvey makes me want to throw a tea party on a lovely summers afternoon with all my closest lady friends. This fabric would be so lovely to make little luncheon napkins to dab the corners of my mouth after enjoying some tasty pastries. Yum.

So i keep checking my mailbox everyday for my spoonflower order to arrive. Will post the results as soon as they come:)
