Feeling foxy

I have a nice selection of fox fabrics in my Spoonflower shop. It all started with this cute fox design. A selection of foxes sit on a teal background, surrounded by stylised foliage in shades of teal and green.

Look up close and you can see the detail of each fox. Some are standing, some are sitting.

This design has more elements and I've created a forest that includes stylised trees and gingerbread houses in the same teal, orange and green colour palette of the fox design. Sly foxes are dotted around, between the trees and houses.

Look up close and you can see the foxes. Some are slinking about, some are sitting.

I also created a fox forest. I've used the same trees from the above design, I've removed the houses and  some foxes sit under some of the trees.

Each tree is coloured slightly differently with a variety of leaf colours in each.

The fox design also looks great on this cream background.

The teal and green foliage makes a nice contrast to the orange foxes.

Woodland home decor

I recently tried a new colouring for my woodland woodblock leaf print and am loving the teal and chartreuse colour combo.

This print would look great as a circular table cloth.

The foxes and houses print comes on a lovely deep teal background.

Create some drama in the home with these fabulous pre-made curtains.

Mini leaf springs sit on a light teal background.

They make pretty cocktail napkins for a pre-dinner drink.

Cute foxes sit on a dark teal background and are surrounded by foliage.

I love this fox print used on these ready-made placemats.

Woodland fabrics

 I've been busy creating a collection of woodland-themed designs for my Spoonflower shop. I decided to use a pleasing colour palette of teals, greens and orange and I'm loving the outcome. You can choose from a selection of fabrics to have these designs printed onto, or buy these prints on pre-made items such as cushions, bedding and wallpaper.

The leaf sprig print makes a pretty design for table napkins.

This fox print makes a crafty design for cocktail napkins on a summer afternoon.

The fox sits beautifully on the cream background and he is surrounded by the same foliage that is used in the table napkins.

The trees and houses design works really well on a throw cushion. Mix it with orange and lime green velvet cushions to enhance the colours.

Why not go bold and use this foxy fella as a statement wallpaper?!

Can you spot the little foxes below, hiding among the houses? This print was designed for the Spoonflower design challenge named 'From My Window'. This is a slight exaggeration of the view from my window, but I can see houses and trees and the odd fox.

This little leaf design works well for home decor but could also work well on apparel. I see it making a great little sun top.

The leaf comes in two colour palettes. I love this soft teal version.

The tree design makes a lovely strong colour palette for the bedroom and this duvet set can be bought through my Spoonflower shop, ready-made.

I used the same foxes and leaves from the other designs in this tree print so that all designs co-ordinate with each other.

The strong colour palette pulls all the designs together so that each one works with the other. This teal leaf design works well as a table runner and you could use the tree design as coordinating napkins.

The teal ground of this fox design really beings out the orange of his fur.

Forest Friends

Forest animals have been a popular image in recent years and you can find them on all manner of fun items. Fox and hedgehog images still seem to be going strong and I found these fab ones recently. So far I have made them up into cosmetic bags, but I will be making more items (coin purses, card cases, tissue holders) over the next few weeks.

You can find them both in my store here.

The fabric of the fox cosmetic bag shows sweet little sleeping foxes. The foxes are a purple colour so I decided to give them a purple triangle lining.

The fabric of the hedgehog cosmetic bag shows brown hedgehogs on a funky green ground.

I gave this cosmetic bag the same purple triangle lining as the green of the triangles matches the outer colour.

Foxy Family

A little while ago I wrote a post about some fabulously foxy fabric I picked up on my travels.

I've been busy since then and the fabric has now been made up into some fabulously foxy items which you can see below. Each one is made from an orange and grey fox head design and has a contrasting yellow and cream cotton polka dot lining.

The coin purse above is so cute and just big enough for small change or for storing headphones.

The coin purse above is slightly larger and can fit small change and credit cards too!

The cosmetic bag above is a great size for storing makeup, or can be used as a gadget pouch for storing phone chargers etc. It could also be used as a handbag organiser.

The glasses case above is softly padded and big enough to fit large sunglasses.

The tissue holder above is a fun way to carry tissues and protects them when they're in your bag.

Foxy loxy

I just had to mention this fabulous foxy fabric I bought recently from Creative Quilter. It's such a simple design and I love the regimented feel of it. Foxes are still a popular design motif and I'm looking forward to making this fabric up into a coin purse, glasses case and cosmetic bag.

I have a prefect yellow and cream polka dot fabric to use as the lining.

From a distance the fox heads look like a little geometric design,

but up close you can see their cheeky faces.

Foxy items will be in store soon.....

Fabric Friday

It's Fabric Friday time and today I decided to make a trip to the Knitting and Stitching Show at Olympia as I needed a bit of a fabric fix! It's a great show for getting inspiration for new designs and seeing what's out there, and I also saw a lot of designs that I had worked on for Makower. Of course, the main reason for going to the show was to stock up on fabrics, and that's what I did! I'd obviously had a bit of a barren phase fabric-wise as I ended up coming home with a rather large selection. Here's a little taster.

My favourite stall there is The Eternal Maker, a mother and daughter run store based on the South coast of England. They specialise in unique and quirky fabrics as well as stocking haberdashery, notions, paper crafts and buttons.

 I loved their selection of animal prints, especially the birds and foxes.

 Yellows are very popular right now and these ones are lovely and fresh.

  I couldn't resist the quirky cat heads and will make it up into a cosmetic bag with the yellow geo as a contrasting lining. A little project for the weekend perhaps?

 Elephants are popular and these ones are really sweet, with a matching polka dot for the lining.

I really liked the subtle gold on these three geometric designs and may incorporate them into a clutch bag design.
