#365patterns – No. 88-91, Boy Aliens Pattern

 

 

Aliens! These were drawn by my amazing husband years ago, but I still think that they would make a great pattern for little boys. Like wrapping paper or sheets. Too fun! You may be asking why I’m highlighting these patterns today? Well, today is Chris’ 32nd Birthday! And well, he’s pretty amazing! And I feel so lucky to have him in my life! So these are for him! Happy Birthday Chris!

#365patterns – No. 86 & 87, Bright Geometric

 

 

I could see both of these patterns working on children’s bedding. Boy bedding to be exact. I’m also working on a robot print to match. Oh so fun!#365patterns_babybrightgeo-01 #365patterns_babybrightgeo-02

#365patterns – No.81-85

I’m playing catch-up! Apparently I’m supposed to be on pattern number 121 if I had designed a pattern a day since Jan. 1, 2013. But, here’s the deal…I came in late….grrr! Add that to other things that have come up, and I’m late in the game. So, to make up, I’m including some oldies, but goodies! Here’s to hoping I can catch up before the middle of the year! Yee haw!

Which one is your favorite? I love the psychedelic butterfly one because It’s so unlike me and my style!#365patterns_oldies-01 #365patterns_oldies-02 #365patterns_oldies-03 #365patterns_oldies-04 #365patterns_oldies-05

#365patterns-#80 Front Row Society Submission

Inspired by the coral reefs, this pattern, Aricoral, was used in the Front Row Society Submission for African Heat. If you’d like to submit an entry, you still have a few days. I had so much fun making the pattern. It was based off of this pattern that I did a few days ago, but I amped it up a bit! I love the color palette and I think this would look great on a swimsuit don’t you?

#365patterns- No. 78 & 79

Do you like the movie, Elf? I think it’s ratherĀ hilariousĀ and recently thought of the quote about the swirly twirly gumdrops and thought it would be fun to design a pattern based on that quote.

#365patterns- No. 68-74, Cottage Laines

That's right! Since I got so far behind I'm counting each of these patterns as a pattern. There are actually only 4 patterns, but 2 different colorways. I'm allowed to do that right? I see these patterns going on home decor, like pillows, chairs and curtains. Don't you think these would be so cute in a cottage home? That's why these patterns are called Cottage Laines. My two favorite of these p...

#365patterns – No. 66 & 67, Char’s Happy Flowers

My daughter, Char, drew me some flowers and I decided to make a pattern out of them. Then she wanted a Happy Spring outfit to go with them. What do you think? Would you dress your little girl in this outfit?   Imagine the butterfly is a large applique sewn on and the text is embroidered. At the bottom of the shirt is gathered yellow tulle. The pants are a comfortable stretch knit. A...

#365patterns – No. 64 & 65 and Baby Girl Outfit

Wow, I know I haven't posted for a while and now I'm WAY behind on this whole 365 patterns thing, but hey..... I haven't given up yet! I've always wanted to design children's clothing and after I designed this pattern, I just knew I had to put it into practice. Isn't this so cute? If I ever have another little girl, I may just need to print me some fabric and sew me up one of these, bonnet ...
