Spoonflower design challenge

 Last week's Spoonflower design challenge was 'passementerie' which means an ornamental edging or trimming made of braid, cord, beading or metallic thread. I decided to do a brightly coloured version of this, including pompom trim, tassels and braided trim, hand-drawn and in a stripe layout.

I decided to match the colour palette to my pompom design.

These prints could be used as wallpaper in a craft room.

Big bold designs that add colour to any space.

Sewing addict

I've been creating some fun, bright sewing-inspired designs for my Spoonflower shop and think they will appeal to any sewing addict! I love sewing and spend a lot of time creating items on the sewing machine, so I tapped into my love of that and all things haberdashery to create these fun bright prints.

This sewing machine design was the first one I created and I included a turquoise blue sewing machine, fabric swatches, scissors and thread as well as a mug of tea and a chocolate chip cookie - essential fuel for a keen sewer!

The main design inspired me to create some co-ordinates to go with it. The first one was a needle and thread design which also includes pins and buttons.

The scissor print has been designed in a set layout and includes a variety of shapes and sizes in the same bright colour palette as the other two designs.

Sewing Love

 This week's Spoonflower design challenge is called 'Home Hobbies'. My home hobby and my work both involve sewing and so I naturally had to do a sewing design for this challenge. I fell very lucky to work at something that I also enjoy.

In this design I've used a colour palette of red, orange, blue and pink and have included sewing items such as scissors, thread and pins as well as the obligatory mug of tea and a few biscuits to keep me going.

This design could be used for home accessories such as cushion covers or a tablecloth, or you could go really bold and use it as a wallpaper print in your sewing room.
