New Pansy Fabric!

I'm pleased to announce that I've released a new floral fabric on Spoonflower! Pansy Field is also available in a gift wrap and at a smaller scale.I was inspired to make this fabric when I went to the garden center and saw all the different flowers they had there. The fabric pattern is made using my photos of some of my favorite pansies.I had the fabric printed onto Sport Lycra in order to make my sister a crop top. I was a little worried about the print appearing faded or washing out, but these pictures were taken after the shirt had already been through the wash. The print is just as bright as when I got it! The shirt itself is simply two pieces of fabric zig zagged together at the sides and shoulders. The neck, armhole, and bottom hem are folded over and zig zagged in place.If anyone ends up using my pansy fabric, please send mp pictures! I'd love to see what you make!

Phases of the Moon Skirt

I designed this fabric, Phases of the Moon, a couple years ago, with no real plan besides releasing it on Spoonflower.I bought myself two yards last year with the intent of making a dress. It didn't work out and I can't remember exactly what happened, but pieces of the fabric remained in my fabric box up until this Thursday.When I pulled the fabric out, I found I'd already cut out the perfect base for a high/low hem skirt. I couldn't find the top half of the dress anywhere. All that I did was sew a narrow casing and put a bit of elastic through it. Since it was a knit fabric, I didn't even hem it. Ridiculously simple!The fabric is amazing! My design looks great, and the fabric I chose was Modern Jersey. There are some small design details that do not show up on the fabric, but that's my own fault. I had written the names of each moon phase under the corresponding moon in a light grey. The words were too tiny to show up against such a dark background.I I'm kind of disappointed I wasn't able to make the dress I wanted, but I'm happy with what I made. If I do ever find the rest of the moon fabric, I'll probably make a matching crop top.
