Do you know that excited-yet-self-conscious feeling you have when showing off a new haircut you think looks really good on you? That’s a little how I feel about my new organic fabric line. After my last sneak peek, you were all so kind, so encouraging. I thought I would give you just a little more of a peek…just because.
I’ve gotten more strike-offs (test print runs) and have been doing some sewing, seeing how the different prints and colors work together. I so love this process! Playing with trims, mixing and matching…all with my very own fabric designs. Oooh, it’s such a thrill. As I’ve mentioned before, this has been a loooong time aspiration of mine and it is making me very happy.
This week I will be pulling it all together and wrapping up the details before we leave on our annual lakeside vacation. If all goes as planned, I will be back and ready to launch the line last week of July! It will be available for purchase in my etsy shop by staring July 30th.
Until then, I will fill you in on some of the details. There will be five prints available, some in different colorways, printed on a 100% organic cotton and hemp blend. It’s a home dec weight canvas suitable for pillows, totes, place mats, hats, etc. The fabric is professionally printed in the USA. In the very near future (September!) I will be offering more prints on different types of fabrics, such as an organic cotton sateen. Let’s see, what else? Gosh, there’s so much to do! I’ve got a busy week ahead of me. Plus getting ready for vacation! (Nothing like the feeling of “hurry up so you can relax”!)
Phew…I hope these small insights into my line entice you to come back for the full reveal later this month. And I hope you’re as excited about it as I am. 🙂
These look so gorgeous, especially that floral print!
So fun! What fabulous little projects you’ve made too. I’m loving the “lawn chair webbing” plaid!

Both times you showed us your new fabrics, I thought “I love that fabric” before I read that it was yours. I especially love the circles. The organic cotton and hemp is very appealing too. I know it will be a huge hit! Congratulations.
