Sweet cherries

 This cherry print is the perfect print for a summer sewing project with its bright red, juicy cherries on a fresh green background. You can just imagine picking one up and popping it into your mouth.

You can buy this cherry print in my Spoonflower shop on a wide variety of fabric choices, from lighter weights such as gauze and chiffon, to heavier weight fabric such as canvas or velvet.

This cherry print would look great on a summer skirt. Spoonflower has a choice of fabrics that would be perfect for this sewing pattern, including cotton lawn or cotton sateen.

I'm looking forward to making this print into bags and purse for my Etsy shop. Watch this space!

Cute fruit

 I designed this cute fruit print a while ago but have recently added to my Redbubble shop on this pretty pink background. It makes a great summer print on a variety of items fit for a fabulous summer wardrobe.

The fruit print A-line dress is made from polyester but has a silky handfeel. Its loose, flowy fit makes it perfect for the beach.

The cute fruit print bucket hat is perfect for shading from the sun. It's also lightweight and easy to pack.

This fruit print backpack is nice and sturdy and has padded adjustable straps. It also has a zipper pocket on the outside and a mesh pocket on the side, perfect for storing a water bottle to easily access.

Feeling fruity

 I'm feeling fruity today! Celebrating this warmer weather with some happy fruit designs. These prints were each hand-drawn on the computer and include watermelons, apples, pears and pineapples in a selection of fresh colours. All can all be found in my Spoonflower shop where they can be bought on a variety of fabrics by the yard, or you can buy them as ready-made items.

Who can resist these happy smiling fruit?! Some are wearing sunglasses too!

These happy fruits look great as napkins for a summer garden party.

I love the fresh turquoise background of this mini fruit print.

Fruity tableware is a fun way to brighten the kitchen table or to use at a summer garden party.

Nice pear!

It's been getting a bit fruity at Cheeky Leopard recently with the addition of these funky pear items. I bought the fabric when I was in Tokyo in November and the first item I made with it was a fabulous tote bag. I decided to pick out the hot pink from the pear design and used that as the lining colour, as well as for the sturdy canvas straps.

Recently I have been busy making up more items in the pear fabric and you can now find an iPad case, cosmetic bag and glasses case to match!
