Recent Fabric Projects: The Leaf Edition

After four years of living in warm climates it is nice to see the colors and smell the scent of fall leaves again.  All of the projects in this week's post have been inspired by leaves.
I love it when customers give me permission to share their projects.  Here is Rose Leaves Ditsy Vintage as a very lovely dress.  Thanks for sharing!

I took my own advice from back in July sewed this easy project.  I lined a yard of my Trash Art Rose Leaves Multi on White with a golden khaki knit to make a terrific scarf for cooler weather.

And I am very excited to continue supplying the wonderful children's clothing designer, Dandy Lion Company, with my Yellow Gingko Leaves design. It is used in a tunic that is part of their fall line.

Baby Animals Spoonflower Contest

Here is my latest entry for a Spoonflower contest.  The contest theme is baby animals and so I continued exploration of the Onagadori chickens I began with the Garden Path collection with these brightly colored spring chicks.  Please consider voting for me this week in the Baby Animals contest.

Just got back my proofs from Spoonflower and was super excited by how great they turned out.  The colors are terrific and really strong. My original Rose Argyle designs did not show as much contrast printed as they do now with the revisions.  This is why it is important to get samples.  Also it is much easier to see the scale of the print when looking at the actual swatch. 

My Cape Cod Boats design is brighter on a white cotton woven material than the organic cotton knit print shown below.  I like the earthier colors of the knit.
