So, in my continued perseverance to try out different custom fabric printers I tried out a new one. My Fabric Designs I bought two yards of fabric. Their site is not quite as developed as Spoonflower’s site and obviously has less users. First one was Quadri Performance Sport Knit ($26/yard). It printed true to design and […]

Next week I have plans to participate in Free Notion Spring Wardrobe Capsule. This weekend, I will be (hopefully) cutting out my fabric in preparation for sewing. I have a need for basic tops for spring for work. I don’t have many that fit me right now (grew out of my old ones), and last summer […]

Nivalis tunic
By Stacy on February 7, 2016
As I was on a roll with getting sewing done, I volunteered to do the pre-test for the Sofilantjes Nivalis Tunic and Dress. The timing was not the best, as work decided to get very busy (like I didn’t know that would happen), and now I am sick. Yes, a bit over-extended. I made three […]
My fabric finally arrived on December 13th. Well, at least the strike-off’s arrived! I gave her my digital files on September 27th. This is not a speedy process. I ordered the 5 yard minimum of these 4 different prints, and they are $17 yard, so not cheap. I really do like the quality, but not […]

Shades of the Iris
By Stacy on November 23, 2015
Here is another designs I made. This one is probably going to be worn the most! Striped Flowers in Lavender – This is a mixture of Iris, Roses and Dahlias in the same shades. This was printed on Satin, and scaled to print at 4″ x 4″. The satin is a bit thin, so I like […]
The last few years our gardens have not been as happy as they once were when we actually had time to pull weeds. When they were happy, I loved to plant pretty dahlias and Iris flowers. Then, I took pictures of them! I took some of the many pictures of my flowers (and some of […]
I am part of several Facebook groups that deal with sewing and fabric. On one of the fabric groups, there are ladies that order fabric from manufacturers in China. I thought I would give it a shot, since Spoonflower cannot print a true black on their knit fabrics. It will probably end up being about […]
When I drew this design up, it was supposed to be the wings on a Phoenix. Or the tail. I forget. I drew it at some point last fall (as in over a year ago, fall) when I was watching a football practice. The Boy and one of his little buddies came over to me at […]
In the spring, I received a prize for participating in Skirt Fixation’s Adult Create Contest. I got 4th place, and they selected a very personalized gift for me. A gift certificate to Spoonflower. Perfect! I knew I wanted to create a single design to go on a tunic or dress, so I just needed time […]

Fall trees outfit
By Stacy on October 23, 2012You have already seen pictures of this one, but I thought I would describe it a bit… The top is made from organic cotton jersey from Spoonflower. This one printed pretty true to my design, so I was happy about that. It is so nice and soft, too! This will be a great shirt for […]
