Appletree fabric

Remember the sew&cut skirt i designed for a Spoonflower contest? Well this fabric design is based on that design. Lillestoff liked the design and asked me to make an all over pattern with the tree. I'm happy with how the fabric turned out. The colors are bright and the quality of the organic jersey fabric is perfect! And ofcourse i sewed my little girl an outfit. The patterns for the tunic and the trousers came from an Ottobre magazine.

I sewed on the trousers a little piece of the ribbon as a label. That was so easy, but it looks so lovely :) The owl ribbon is also available in a offwhite color.

 

And for a new litlle baby niece called Milou i sewed this sleeping bag.

The fabric and ribbons are available in my shop and on Etsy. So if the blog inspirered you to sew: you're welcome to visit my shop :)

 Hoooray! My newest fabric design on Spoonflower won the cityscape contest!!! I'm so surprised and happy. Delft is the town i grew up; so for me it had to be a Delft design...choosing a colorpalete for the design had never been so easy :) Thanks to all who voted for my design!

From the Spoonflower email:
'Dutch City Delft Gets Its Own Fabric
Today we wrap up our cityscape contest, which spawned a travel guide's worth of amazing, charming and unique fabrics. The winner, however, was none other than Bora, our all-time Spoonflower contest champ, who chose to commemorate her home town of Delft, in South Holland, a city famous for its blue pottery, home to the painter Vermeer (thank heavens Wikipedia is back up this morning!). Other cities celebrated in the top ten include Venice, New York, Milwaukee, London, Stockholm, Basel, San Francisco, Kowloon, and Amsterdam. What fun!'

Furoshiki and free gift tags!

 

 

 

 I designed some gift tags matching the christmascards and fabric with the vintage christmasballs and snowman. You can download it for free here or at my flickr and use it for your presents.
The tags are only for personal use!

These presents are being wraped with a square piece of fabric called Furoshiki. Furoshiki is originating from Japanese culture and it's a eco-friendly way to wrap your christmaspresents! There are all kinds of knots to wrap your presents. You can even fold a bag or clothing :)

The fabric is also available at Spoonflower. A fat quarter is perfect to make a furoshiki of 45 x 45 cm.
Cut the fabric, make a small seam an wrap your presents like this!

The fabric and tags match with the christmas cards. Which you can find in my shop or etsy.

Coming soon....'little forest' fabrics!

 

Here's a sneakpreview of some of my fabric designs that will be coming out soon at Lillestoff! The little forest, mushrooms and brown little forest design will be organic jersey.  Please have a little patience; at the end of november they will be available at my shop!

 ...and i forgot to mention: this collection also has a matching ribbon!!!

Wooohooo finished a deadline yesterday for a classbook with 58 illustration :-) ...in the evening i had some time to do a quick butterflies design for the upcoming Spoonflower contest! That was fun to do :-) These colours i wouldn't normally use; but it's a contest with a restricted colour pallete.
