In the sea of {fabric} love

 I decided to organize all my Spoonflower fabric swatches that I collected over these past 3 years, so there's so much cutting, organizing and photographing going on. My fabric design set on Flickr is getting fatter and fatter. My plan is to finally list some of my fabric designs and creations with my fabrics on etsy. Hopefully, I'll arrive there soonish.









And, yes, dreaming about making dresses with my fabric designs. In the mean time, I'll enjoy looking at this beautiful "My wonderland" dress made with my fabrics that can be found on etsy
and Francoise Lama-Solet's website.
Thanks Fran, you are the best!!!

Dolls mania

If you remember this blog post, then you will know that this new endeavor will hardly end. It's getting bigger and better and I keep designing new doll styles almost every day.







I am so enjoying this pile of dolls, all the little details, all the little mistakes I made during this process, but what I cherish most is that it's totally MY design and my product-from the drawing till the sewn doll and packaging design -the completed product.







Each week, I am eagerly waiting for the postman to arrive and bring me some new doll templates. It's a long way down the road, as it starts here, it's printed in the USA and the final product is made here again. So, the turnaround takes more than a month, but, I am so happy with the results.







The dolls are printed on the great quality, 100% cotton poplin, stuffed with 100% polyester wadding and are sewn with utmost love and care and special attention to a detail. As far the reactions are great, little girls love them, as much as adults.

New princess custom set

During this whole month, I was busy creating one complete new princess set for an etsy customer. I truly enjoyed every piece of this set and had a wonderful experience from the start till the end. Here are some steps of the way....from proposing and choosing the fabrics, making mock ups till the finished set.

Foxy LOVE

Totally into foxes this week. We are having the contest @ Spoonflower this week, for the critter pillow. So I finally had the chance to do some fox illustration-design. I will design also the whole woodland collection with those little critters. While they are still trendy:)

Happy Valentines!!!

To celebrate this day, here a few fabric lavender heart "cushions". They are so easy to make (very similar to this tutorial , just a different shape...) and can be a great present for Valentines, Mother's Day or similar....






Happy Valentines!!!

Flickr picture problems

Just a quick note that I 'm having some issues with my pictures, here on the blog. Mainly all of my pics are stored at Flickr and due to the software bug they had, (that impacted over 1000 pics in my account and therefore my blog too), they are currently unavailable. The folks at Flickr are working on solving that problem, so hopefully all will be back to normal in the next couple of days.
