First Fabric Design for sale

Exciting news this week with my first swatch coming back from Spoonflower.  I'm based in the UK and with the Thanksgiving/Christmas postal service had expected this to be really delayed, as it has to come all the way from Durham, North Carolina in the USA, that's 3874 miles if your interested in such geekery.  Well it was ordered on the 19th November and got to me on the 13th December so not too bad.

So what does it look like...

Well its called Mittens and Christmas Trees and I chose a vintage/traditional colour scheme. 

It feels great to have my first design made up and also available for other people to buy, however with the timing (having missed the Christmas 2013 market) I'm not convinced that there will be many sales.  Still 100% successful as I wanted to try out the process in preparation for future designs.  I was really impressed with the quality of the printing and the fabric. 

There will definitely more designs available on Spoonflower soon as I am currently preparing a 30 swatch bundle for spring.  I look forward to sharing with you once they become available.

My next post will be after the big day so I wish you all a very merry and peaceful Christmas.
