THIS IS A BRIEF POST WITH IDEAS OF HOW TO USE MY FABRIC. FOR THOSE OF YOU INTERESTED, VISIT MY IN-DEPTH SERIES ON SPOONFLOWER FABRIC DEVELOPMENT.
I've made my choice and ordered a yard of my newly designed lion fabric from Spoonflower. Here it is, inspired by Lilly Hannah:
Now the question at hand is, what am I going to do with it? Well, obviously it's going to become some part of a child's garment, but what? I just don't know. It's a bit tough because for me, there definitely is too much of a good thing. I don't want to overuse the lions because they could sink away to a place where you barely even notice them because there are so many. My challenge is to create something where the lion fabric is showcased to it's fullest without overwhelming the garment or underwhelming the fabric. Hmmm...I'm just going to play around on the computer and try a couple of things. Bear with me--I'm just playing!
Tent jumper with the lions as a central focal point.
Lion dress with center skirt front panel in solid green and thin maroon piping to break up the green a bit.
Opposite skirt panels.
Lion extravaganza! Hee hee!
Empire waist jumper with maroon piping to break up the fabrics.
Bubbly Lion Dress.
Empire waist jumper with lion bodice and maroon skirt.
Well, so far I'm learning that I really want to put just a little taste of the maroon accent in there somewhere. I like how it breaks up all the green. Fun Fun!
<Yawn!> Goin' to bed!
