Planning a New Design

Planning a new design is fun! It involves moving lots of fabric swatches around and trying lots of potential combinations before finding just the right one. Here's a peek at a new style in the works - a collaborative effort with the lovely Suymey.

Mary Skirt Purples

Amy Butler's newest collection, Love, features many purples:






Some colorful Anna Maria Horner options. Quilthome is a great place to see them - they have a feature that let's you view them as 2 by2, 4 by 6 and 8 by 11 swatches.
















Here's a few from Kaffe Fassett:





















This group is called City Girl - just think of the cute outfits that could be made from the colors here:

Daisy's Dress Design


One of the best parts of creating custom items is the collaboration with customers - helping them design a one-of-a-kind item that reflects their own personal sense of style. Daisy, a girl who has her own eye for fashion, and her Momma have chosen a peasant style dress with a border fabric on the sleeves and hem.

The main fabric is a delightfully happy and colorful cotton poplin from teh Rainbow Garden collection of Australian desinger, Prints Charming. It's luxuriously soft and feel slike PJs next to you skin. The background of dark plum purple is a gorgeous backdrop for the many shades of pinks, oranges, and purples of the paisleys.

Here's a peak at the 13 potential go-withs I found in my fabric stash. Now - let's see what Daisy thinks!
1 - Orange with tiny white pin dots



2 - Orange with 1/4 inch white dots in a random pattern



3 Orange with small white dots


4 - Orange, a more muted shade, with white pin dots


5 Orange with yellow, fuchsia, and white 1/4 inch dots


6 Plaid - another fabric from the Rainbow Garden collection that the same super soft poplin

7 Pink - similar to the dots of number 3


8 Fuchsia pink with a deep, deep pink scribble
9 Pink corduroy - hey where did that photo go?
10 Orchid pink with flower print

11 The pink version of #2


12 Pink, the same shade as #9, but with tiny white pin dots



13 Another fabric from the Rainbow Garden collection. This one has big 1-inch dots.
