New notebooks

I recently decided to add some new items to my store, these gorgeous little notebooks! I designed them myself and I decided to use images that have been popular in my store. The items that sell the best are the Boston Terrier fabrics and cat designs, so I decided to use those and create some sweet book covers. It was a lot of fun designing them.

Both the notepads are A5 in size and they are made from recycled card on the outside with a staple at the spine to hold the pages together. There are 48 lined pages so that you can jot down your ideas and thoughts. These books could be used as a journal, a diary or something to keep lists in!

The Boston Terrier design is on a yellow ground and has tonal tossed hearts surrounding the dogs' heads. This makes a great match with the Boston Terrier coin purse.

Look closer at the cat design and you will see that some of them are wearing pink glasses or bow ties. The design is on a pale grey ground and would make a great match with the cat cosmetic bag.

Look inside the front cover of each notebook and you will find a space to personalise your book.

Hello kitty!

We do love a kitty cat print here at Cheek Leopard and this lovely one has just been added to my store. I found the fabric in Tokyo at a fab shop called Tomato and I just had to have it. I love the little cat heads and the fact that there are a combination styles on a deep purple ground. Some of the heads are coloured, some are just back and some are just a gold silhouette. So far I have made a cosmetic bag, tissue holder and tote bag, and each one has a complimentary black and white cotton circle lining. You can find them in my store here.

Silence is golden

I'm so sorry for the silence! I've just realised I haven't posted anything on my blog since I got back from Tokyo! There's a good reason for this, I've been very busy, with Cheeky Leopard and with work/design commitments. I hit the ground running when I got back from Tokyo and did another show the day after I got back! A few glasses of bubbly kept the jet lag at bay and it was a lovely event held at the home of Bernadette Douetil. I also did another event at a local school two weeks ago, and last night I attended another event, held at the Winchester Hall in St Margarets. In between this, I have been busily designing prints for Makower, as well as adding more Cheeky Leopard products to my store.

The most recent additions are these fun cosmetic bags made from cat fabrics. I love a good cat design and couldn't resist these ones that I picked up in Tokyo.

This purse is made from a vibrant pink and black cat head design.

I love the way that the cat heads create a polka dot.

This purse is made from a quirky black and white cat design. 

The red and white polka dot lining matches their bow ties!

Fabric Friday

There's quite a menagerie here at the Cheeky Leopard studio, with a growing supply of cute animal fabrics! The black and white cats have always been popular, as have the elephants and dachshunds, but we now have frogs, squirrels, horses, hedgehogs, foxes and even sheep, which is quite fitting as it's the year of the sheep! I'd better get busy and start making them all into some fun items to add to my store! Watch this space.

The black and white cats come in all different shapes and sizes from coin purse, to cosmetic bag and even an iPad case.

These sweet sheep will be made into a coin purse with a black and white spotty lining.

Pigs! These ones will have a pink polka dot lining.

Frogs and elephants on happy bright ground colours.

These pandas have already been made into a cosmetic bag with a red and white polka dot lining.

Look out for a coin purse in the same fabric soon.

Squirrels and hedgehogs live harmoniously in the wild and work quite nicely together on fabric too.

Check out the little brown polka dot with the acorn thrown in here and there. So sweet!

I love these galloping horses in grey and brown.

Pussy galore!

Happy Monday! Please excuse the rather cheeky heading to this post. I couldn't resist referencing the infamous James Bond character whilst mentioning the latest additions to my store. It wouldn't be christmas without a James Bond reference.

The pussy cats are always a popular item in my store and I have just added three more pieces. The fabrics used on these ones are rather sweet and were picked up on my trip to Tokyo in November. I have made them into glasses cases, which are the perfect stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift. Each is lightly padded to protect your glasses and who could resist these cutesome kitty cats?! You can find them in my store here.

Fabric Friday

I've been a busy bee today, preparing for my Open House event on Tuesday evening as well as making more items to put on my Etsy store. I often mention how much fun I have putting fabrics together, and today I have been focusing on the most popular fabrics. Customers love the cats and the elephants, as well as the sausage dogs. The anchors are a lovely classic design on a vibrant red. I have shown each fabric with the lining that I think suits it best and tomorrow I will be making them up into iPad cases and coin purses, as well as some gift sets.

Watch this space!

The sausage dogs are really jolly on the orange ground and I love the floral detail in their bodies.

The cats are the most popular and I thought the yellow polka dot lining made a fun combination.

The anchors work so well with the blue and white polka dot lining.

These elephants are very sweet. I've chosen a red and white star lining to go with them.

Who wouldn't want a penguin fabric iPad case?!

It's back to school time, are you ready?!

Beat those back to school blues with these fun accessories from Cheeky Leopard.
