June 1, 2020 | brendazapotosky

Hey All!  I have a fun sewing project to share with you today… On ANOTHER blog!  I am excited to announce that my first Guest Blog post for Cali Fabrics is up on their blog today!  I am sharing a Morris Blazer I made out of some awesome stretch denim.  A “Not a Jean Jacket” Jean Jacket!  I’d love for you to head over to the Cali Fabrics Blog to read all about it!

It is the final day for the @spoonflower 50% off Fat Quarters sale. You have until 11:59 EST tonight! I decided to go with another print from my Spring Showers Collection for this reminder. This design is called Playful Pops and this is the March colorway. In addition to adding the new design to this collection this week (see my post from a few days ago) I went through and updated all the design listings in the collection. And when it came to this design (and its other colorway) I was REALLY struggling with design search tags. I have many empty slots I could fill... I just don't know what to tag for this one! It is not a floral, or an abstract really, or a geometric... It is really HARD to describe! Any ideas? What term would you be searching for and expect to see this design? I welcome any suggestions!!! #spoonflower #fabric #fabricsale
Happy Thursday! I thought I would start a new regular Thursday post... since #throwbackthursday is a thing... and Thursday is also the day that new @spoonflower design challenges start I thought it would be fun on the Thursdays when I am NOT participating in a contest (which will be most of them... ha ha) to instead post an old contest design! To kick things off and keeping with my Spring Showers Collection since I just added shared that new addition yesterday. Here is: Ready for Rain! This is one of my favorite designs in the collection actually! And the third design challenge entry from that collection. Anyone recall the first? We have been getting snow again this week (including today) so I guess NE Ohio is not quite ready for rain just yet... or perhaps not ready for ONLY rain since I think we had some of that too! ha ha This is the contest colorway but there are also four other color versions available! #spoonflower #wallpaper #fabric
NEW in my @spoonflower shop today! Anyone recognize this design? I created a few summers ago as a coordinate in my Summer collection for Raspberry Creek Fabrics. It has been retired from there and I am happy to now have it added to my shop in THREE NEW COLORWAYS! I decided to add these to my Spring Showers Collection. These first two go with the April colorway, swipe to see the version that coordinates with the March colorway. I made my niece a dress with the original RCF colorway. But I think these would be so cute as kids room decor too! Find a link to the entire Spring Showers Collection in my profile. And just a reminder Fat Quarters are 50% this week thru friday! #spoonflower #wallpaper #fabric
In case you haven't already heard... @spoonflower is have a 50% off Fat Quarters Sale this week! No code needed, the price will automatically show at half off. Runs through Friday 11:59 pm EST. Shown here is my Lilies design, Mint colorway: A perfect spring pattern if you ask me. #spoonflower #fabric #fabricsale
NEW colorways of Alpine Tree Forest added to my @spoonflower shop today! This is the Olive Pop version, swipe to see the Sweet version. Both part of the Alpine Medley Collection. You might have noticed that my new listings have been quite a hodge podge... LOL! There is definitely a lot of mosty little additions to many different collections. In some cases it was a design that I had partially done that I finally finished. Plus all my reimagined RCF designs (more of those to come). Or designs like this where I just decided I wanted to add one or more color options! I actually have a new Collection I will be adding in March that I am very excited about... and the timing is VERY intentional 😉 In the Meantime I hope you are liking this random mix! #spoonflower #fabric #wallpaper
Thought I would stick to the marine/water/sailing theme for one me day... with a TWIST! New in my @spoonflower shop today: Little Sailboats PATRIOTIC! My Patriotic Collection is another one that I have grown over time.... most often from designs from other collections that I think would work well in my patriotic palette. I also added my Mod Dots pattern in a patriotic colorway! The collection includes the classic red, white and blue... but also grays, periwinkle and sky blue... because I think it is fun to expand the palette a little. I also happen to think that this version of the sailboats is pretty classic nautical colors too! Link to the Collection in my profile! #spoonflower #fabric #wallpaper
