| Color & Pattern Doodling Digital image |
I've had the idea to create my own fabric designs to use in making a small summer weekend getaway wardrobe: handmade rope sandals, 3 pair of shorts, 3 camp shirts, a hat, 2 summer dresses. a picnic cloth, a bathing suit, and, a tote bag.
The first pattern will be for summer tee shirts and the tote bag. The second pattern will be for a camp shirt and a summer dress.

Colorful, summery, light and moving is the vibe I'm going for this summer. Holding the hot weather up against winter's cold is a contrast that pushes ideas towards brighter hues.
At the moment I have a spiral notebook close by with a story I've written that needs editing. Doodling fabric pattern designs is a way of avoiding that task. I have no answer as yet, (and I have thought long about it), why I put off doing things I believe will be very good for me.
C'est La vie!

Creating your own fabric design - how cool is that!! I've been creating my own fabric this afternoon but not in the way you're doing. Mine involves the sewing machine and a big piece of cheesecloth and will ultimately involve some paint to dye it with. Jury is out on whether what I have in my mind will work!
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteSpoonflower is nice to upload fabric designs.
I haven't order fabric there as yet.
Will you have your fabrics printed by Spoonflower? I've never used them but heard good things.
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteThere are a few other websites that create fabrics. I'd do a price and quality comparison first as it does tend to be expensive.
Very colourful.
ReplyDeleteWilliam,
DeleteIn winter, lots of color helps keep the blues from going too deep.
Have a wonderful weekend!
