Dog lover

 I love seeing my designs printed onto fabric. I designed this collection of doggy prints, called Furry Friends, for Makower UK a while ago and love its bright colour palette and cute dog breeds. I've included a design that has a selection of doggy items as well as a multi colour paw print. I'm loving the sausage dog print where each dog has a party hat or balloon. A great gift for a sausage dog lover.

Sausage dog cosmetic bag

This sausage dog purse is the perfect gift for a dachshund-lover. It's made from a lovely thick canvas fabric and has a complimentary grey and white polka dot lining. The purse is lightly padded and great for using as a gadget pouch for storing devices and chargers, or for using as a cosmetic bag or travel bag.

Artwork for dog lovers

I sell a lot of different dog-related products in my store and sausage dogs and French Bulldogs seem to be very popular. So I thought I'd try my hand at doing some doggy artwork. For some reason these French-inspired dachshunds took my fancy. I love their jaunty berets and fetching attire and used a pleasing colour palette of blue, orange and mustard.

These dogs are printed onto a lovely thick watercolour paper and would look great framed in a natural wood frame. A great gift for any sausage dog lover.

French Bulldogs have such a distinctive face and I couldn't resist doing these cute dog heads in an Andy Warhol style. I used the same colour palette as the sausage dog print.

This artwork is also printed onto a thick watercolour paper and matches a French Bulldog fabric that I sell in my Spoonflower shop.

If there is a certain dog breed that you would like me to design, please let me know. I'm always interested in trying out new images and styles.

Menagerie

 Cheeky Leopard has amassed quite a collection of animal designs over the past few months. They include dogs, cats, zebras and giraffes and come in a variety of colour combinations. You can buy any of these designs by the yard at Spoonflower either on a fabric of your choice or as a wallpaper print.

Sizzling sausages

Sausage dogs are such an iconic image and a breed of dog that is loved around the world. There are so many fabulous dachshund items out there to satisfy any sausage dog-lover and their distinctive silhouette lends itself to all sorts of interesting items.

This sturdy Brakeburn backpack comes in a pleasing mustard yellow colour and has padded shoulder straps and a selection of zippered pockets to store essential items in.

This dachshund tie was designed in support of the San Francisco SPCA's sheltered dogs and features beige dachshunds with tiny red collars on a chocolate brown background.

For a touch of zing to your outfit without being too zingy, these sausage dog socks are perfect. I love the unexpected colour combination.

Brakeburn has also created some fab wellington boots to match their backpack. Something to brighten up a rain day!

For those chilly nights, this reversible knitted hot water bottle cover is perfect. I love the quirky placement of the sausage dog.

Cheeky Leopard has created some fun sausage dog items that include a glasses case, tissue holder, card case and coin purse. You can find them all in store here.

Pink sausages

I've been busy with the sausage dog fabric again! This time it's a pink dachshund fabric and I've rustled up a little sausage selection to choose from, which you can see below.

The cosmetic bag is a great size for storing makeup or gadgets

and has a fun pink and white spotty lining.

The coin purse is very cute and is big enough for small change or for storing headphones in.

The tissue holder comes filled with tissues and is a fun way to protect tissues in your bag. 

The bright colour also makes it easy to find!

The card case also has the fun pink and white spotty lining

and can be used for business cards, travels cards or credit cards.

If pink is just a bit too much for you, I also have these two cosmetic bags that come in two colours with either a cream background or a blue background. A fun gift for any dachshund-lover!

Seeing double

We love sausage dog designs here at Cheeky Leopard and I was very excited recently to get a custom order for some sausage dog items. They were for a pop up shop called Scooter and Me, based in Australia, where their logo is an illustration of their sausage dog called Scooter. I managed to find some fab dachshund fabric in two colour ways, produced by Lewis and Irene and bought in a fabulous shop whilst on my trip to Cornwall called Truro Fabrics. 

At the weekend, I spent my time making up card cases, coin purses and cosmetic bags in the two different fabrics, and they are now winging their way to Aus where they will hopefully find a new home.

The cream colour way has a blue and white polka dot lining.

The blue colour way has a turquoise lining.

Individual items are designed to match each other. The coin purse and card case would fit perfectly inside the larger purse which could be used as a cosmetic bag, handbag organiser or as a gadget pouch.

Sausage dogs

We do love a good sausage dog fabric here at Cheeky Leopard and I couldn't resist these kissing cuties! This is a cosmetic bag that you can find in my store here. I'm also planning to add to the dachshund family with a coin purse, glasses case and card case too. Watch this space!
