Bora Bora!

So now that I am recovering from my ankle mishap, I am feeling the urge to create again, especially to dabble in fabric design and try to come up with fresh items that I can post on Spoonflower. "Spoonflower" you ask? What the heck is that? Well, if you are not already privy to the fantastic phenomenon that is Spoonflower, and you love fabric--feast your eyes!

Have you been looking for the perfect fabric to make those accent pillows for your couch or bed, but are tired of the stuff you find in regular fabric shops? Looking for the sweet pattern that will make your next fashion project truly you? Welcome to the relief that is a fabric oasis.

Spoonflower.com is a relatively young site that allows you to design and/or purchase fabrics of all kinds. And by all kinds, I mean not only a vast array of designs by seasoned as well as burgeoning fabric artists; I also mean a great selection of fabric weights from quilt to upholstery, including organic options. Below is a sample of one of my favorites. Bora: a Dutch designer with sweet but not-toooo-sugary aesthetic that I love. Her color palettes, her adorable characters--just stinkin' crazy cute! Anyway, head on over to Spoonflower and peruse to your heart's content. It's not only fun (if you're a fabric freak) but can be a font of inspiration, too. Think of all the great items you can sew--or have sewn for you--that will be totally unique to your own sense of fashion or decor! Enjoy!
