Repeating Patterns!

Here are some of my newest fabric designs. I'm making myself design repeating patterns! I was very surprised at how simple it was to actually do it and now kicking myself for not learning sooner. NowI can focus more on more elaborate designs. These are some photos you can see a little bit of my work process. It was done using a Bamboo tablet in Adobe Photoshop.

With the background, it seemed a little crowded to me.

This seemed more pleasing on it's own.

It repeats!

Zone Logos

I'm working on a logo for a dance studio called The Zone. Here are some ideas that I sent them. The single photo is the one the studio decided to go with. They really wanted to show lots of colors.

 

Stuffed Animals

I have never sewed stuffed animals before so I wanted to challenge myself and use up some leftover fabric. I found this really cute pattern that required fleece fabric which happens to be a fabric type that I have tons of. I was at my grandmothers house in Pittsburgh and needed a birthday present for my niece turning 1 the next day. My grandmother is like me and also had tons of fabric leftover. So we decided to watch a movie and sew and this is what I came up with. The yellow one is my second attempt at the same pattern. I think they came out super cute :) And had to make one for myself.

Valentines day 2013

So tonight is 2/13/13 and I had to work until 8pm. I am on my way to Pittsburgh in the morning bright and early so I will not see Caleb on Valentines day. When I got off work I new that Caleb and his parents would be at church so I snuck some gifts into their home while they were gone. I left flowers for his mom and double stuffed Oreos for his dad in hopes they don't get mad that I went without them knowing. Caleb works night shift so he went to work directly after church. So when he gets home at 6:30am on Valentines day this is what he will see. I only hope I get a laugh and a smile out of him :)

Farm sign

Here is a bad picture of a rough sketch I did and the final product I had made by a local welder. The sign is for The Long Shot Farm and winery AKA my parents' farm.
