Buttercup bedding

I recently designed this fabulous summery buttercup print for my Spoonflower shop. It consist of hand-drawn silhouette florals on a yellow background and makes a great print for the home. I especially love the bedding options.

The buttercup duvet cover comes in three sizes and is a great way of adding pattern to the bedroom. it is made from a soft cotton sateen fabric.

The buttercup sheet set is available in six sizes and is great for adding pattern to the bed in a more subtle way. Pair it with a crisp yellow or white duvet cover.

There are also buttercup pillow shams that can be bought separately in three different sizes and are another way of adding colour to a bedroom.

Lilly of the valley

 I recently created this lily of the valley print for my Spoonflower shop. It's a stylised design and includes flowers and leaves in a pleasing turquoise and teal colour palette.

This lily of the valley print looks great on bedding. The duvet cover is made from a soft sateen fabric and comes in three different sizes.

The sheet set is also a nice way of adding colour to the bedroom. It comes in six size options and includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and pillow covers.

The throw blanket is a nice way of adding colour to the bedroom or living room and comes in two cosy fabric options.

I also designed this print in a fresh green colour palette, which would look great on tableware in the home.

The dinner napkins come in a selection of fabric finishes and come as a set of two.

The tablecloth adds a zing of pattern and colour to any dining occasion and comes insecure, rectangle and oval, of varying sizes.

For a more subtle addition to the table, try this table runner. It's made from cotton sateen and comes in a selection of three lengths.

Fabulous floral

 I originally designed this floral in a simple colour palette of blue and white, but I thought it would be interesting to try it in a bright colour palette and I'm really happy with the results! I chose a hot pink and bright orange and added yellow and turquoise. The cream background brings out the colours beautifully. This design was inspired by block printed florals that give it s stylised feel.

This floral print looks great as a cushion cover. It's a great way of adding colour to the home and can be mixed with other cushions in solid colours such as orange or hot pink to add variety to a living space.

This floral print can be bought by-the-metre and made into anything you want. There is a wide selection of fabrics on offer, but I especially love the linen cotton canvas.

The floral print is great for using in the home on tableware such as this table runner. It comes in three different lengths and would be great for decorating a table at a garden party.

Another way of adding colour to the living space is with throw blankets, such as this one. It comes in a velvet fabric but can also be bought in a minky fabric.

Sheet sets are a great way of adding colour to the bedroom and these are fabulous! They are made from a cotton sateen fabric and come with a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillow covers.

Honeysuckle

 Honeysuckles are arching shrubs or twining vines with tubular flowers that typically have a sweet-smelling fragrance and come in two colours or shades. They represent happiness, romantic love, good fortune and sweetness towards one another.

I recently created this honeysuckle design for my Spoonflower shop. I chose to use pinks and yellows for the flowers and added a soft cream background with a mini leaf motif. This print looks great on tableware, from napkins and placemats to tablecloths and table runners. It's the perfect print for a summer feast.

The honeysuckle napkins come in a variety of fabric choices.

The honeysuckle placemats come as a set of two and are available in three different fabric types.

The honeysuckle tablecloths come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from square and rectangle to round and oval.

The honeysuckle table runner is a lovely way of adding a splash of colour down the centre of the dining table. It's made from a cotton sateen fabric.

Pretty pansies

 I have a wide selection of tracheostomy covers in my Etsy shop and most of them are quite modest in design and colour to appeal to a wide variety of tastes. But some of my covers are bright and pretty, like this pink pansy print. 

Each tracheostomy cover is made from 100% machine-washable cotton which means it's easy to wash and is breathable. The pink pansies add a pop of colour to any outfit.

Each cover has a button and elastic loop closure. This makes it easy to attach, but the elastic loop means there is some give in the cover.

Each cover is cut as one size, but if you have a preference for it being larger, I can make the elastic loop longer to allow for more give.

The cover is double-sided, with a contrasting plain maroon cotton fabric on the back.

This makes a great get-well-soon gift for someone special.

Petite fleur

Petite Fleur is the name of this collection I designed for Makower UK recently and it's inspired by spring meadow flowers. Each print has been designed to co-ordinate with each other and comes in a fresh palette or pinks, blues, greens and yellows which makes it really easy to use in quilting projects or dressmaking projects.

This print is called 'Meadow' and consists of many variations of flowers which include all colours of the collection's palette. It's on a fresh cream background which brings out the colours beautifully.

This design is called 'Posy' and shows clusters of daisy-type flowers on a pink background. The strong background colour adds a strong pop of colour to the collection and is used as a highlight in other designs to tie it in.

This little print is called 'Rose' and consists of loosely-drawn flowers on a light pink background,

This design is called 'Petals' and its loose abstract feel alludes to petal shapes. The inclusion of pink, cream and green on the light blue background helps tie the design to a wider variety of prints in the collection.

Tiny pink and blue stylised flower shapes sit on a fresh cream background in this 'Ditzy' print.

This 'Meadow' design has been created with a dark blue background to add drama to the collection.

The 'Rose' design looks great on a green background.

A sweet 'Vine' print with blue flowers.

This is the same print as the rose design but it's been created as a simple silhouette with cream flowers on a pretty blue background. We called it 'Blossom'.

See how this multi colour 'Rose' version compares to the design above. They are the same design but coloured completely differently.

Bright floral purse

 I'm loving this little purse! It's made from a fabulous floral cotton fabric and comes in a vibrant multi colour palette with a lovely lilac cotton lining.

This is the perfect summer purse and is just the right size for storing makeup in. It's lightly padded and made from 100% cotton so machine washable too.

The bright colour makes it easy to find in your bag.

It's also big enough to use as a travel bag. Store passport and sunnies in it, or use it as a gadget pouch.

This floral purse makes a great birthday gift for someone special.

Red hot

I love designing and drawing for a living, but it usually means having to keep to a strict brief, so it's lovely to free myself up by dipping into drawing challenges and designing something for myself. A recent drawing challenge from The Tuesday Collective on Instagram was 'red hot'. I like to draw something fashion-related so after doing a bit of research online, I decided to use a fabulous romper suit by Farm Rio (one of my favourite shops) as my inspiration. They always have bold, bright prints and this red romper was the perfect choice.

The Farm Rio romper is playful yet elegant and comes in a bold red colour with pink piping and a bold print. The bodice is smocked and there are delicate cutouts that lead down from a sweetheart neckline.

Look up close and you will see the pretty print that consists of intricate folk-style flowers and leaves in a hot pink colour. The puffed sleeves add a touch of drama.

 

Fabulous florals

I recently designed this collection for Makower UK called Revival which was inspired by the stylised florals of the Art Deco period. There were two colour palettes used and this is the brighter version which comes in vibrant shades of turquoise pink, orange and lime green.

The main design is a large floral which has a wide variety of flower shapes and decorative leaves. This colour version comes on a turquoise background.

The co-ordinates were designed to enhance and use along side the main design and I used colour combinations taken from the main design. The co-ordinates included leaf sprigs, packed florals and a geo fan design, reminiscent of Art Deco motifs. The selection above come in a juicy selection of pink and orange.

The design above was created to include a softer tone of the collection within the group.

A multi colour stripe is always a good inclusion in a collection and can be used as binding on a quilt or as a contrasting lining for a bag.

The main floral design also comes on a white background. This would be great for making apparel or accessories with.

These co-ordinates are the same designs as the pink and orange versions, but come in a shades of turquoise and green.

I love this detailed floral outline print, great for using as a lining fabric or backing to a quilt.

This tessellated print is beautifully bright and uses all the colours from the collection in it. It is also great for using as a backing for a quilt or as an edging.
