Here is my “green” color scheme for the Tent Dress. Love,

I had created a tent dress for a Spoonflower competition. It was exciting because it was the first time that I was digitizing my Mamma Made patterns so it was a huge challenge and so much fun. Here was the results of my work: It came together pretty quickly, but there were a couple problems with the pattern. You can see in this picture that the armscye is just too tight and puckers. I had also chosen to work with the Upholstery weight fabric which in hindsight was not a good idea. The printing was...

Tonight I was inspired to work on an old idea and make it new again. My dear friend Mary (of royalforest) and I decided to collaborate and work on a design using the concept of the Tree of Life. I am fascinated and love the depth of symbolism of the Tree and the fruits of the spirit. (If you are curious and want to follow the original creative process of the tree, just type “tree” in the search button.) Then Mary updated the fabric with much cooler colors. I thought it would be fun and interesting...

My husband upgraded my flash in my computer and I can work on designs again. Eleanor’s 3rd birthday is coming up and her favorite animal in the world is the elephant. I finished working on, uploaded, and ordered her Elephant Dress from Spoonflower. If I’m happy with the outcome of the pattern, I will let people order off of Spoonflower for their own personal use. Here is what the finished dress will look like: This is what I ordered from Spoonflower with all the pieces laid out. I ordered the Cotton Sateen to give it...

I’m going to post about the drapes I’ve been trying to make…notice I say trying. I bought fabric from Spoonflower to make them and when it arrived I was very excited. The fabric looks great. I’m extremely happy with the design and the printing. I ordered 5 yards because each panel needs 2 1/2 yards. The first thing I needed to adjust and figure is that the printing starts at the left side and however it ends on the right side with the repeating is just how it is. This caused a slight problem in that when you...

Finally! I’ve had a chance to whip up this little thing. This is my design from the Spoonflower Children’s pattern contest. I will show you the pictures and then share my comments at the end of the post. We actually received the fabric on Christmas Eve and here is Eleanor with it. I don’t think she actually “got it” of course. She just loves the green flowers because green is her favorite color. My 2 eldest girls holding up the fabric. I don’t know why Rosemary is making that crazy face. I sewed...

I decided to create a dress from the “Love Birds” fabric design I created for Spoonflower. I have digitally laid out all of the pieces except for the sleeves. The images you see here aren’t accurate but show the composition of the pieces. I’m also going to play around with a different color scheme after I write this up. Here it is! Love,

Thank you everyone who voted for me in the Spoonflower Challenge. I didn’t win but I am very excited none-the-less. I received my fabric with the dress on it and I quickly cut it out to see if the sizing was good. IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT!!!! I pinned it together and put it on Ellie and it just looks amazing. The printed fabric is so much better than the computer image file. I will write a separate post on that once I sew it up. Today we are going to talk about ELEPHANTS! My new elephant dress for my...
