On Sunday I popped in to see the throw pillow class in the SWFDS sewing lounge. I was also saying goodbye to my good friends who run Bling Squared.

The throw pillow class looked like it went well and students were happy with the final product.

Next it was time to head over to see Sheila at the sewing lounge. Her first class was using some fabric that I had dyed and discharge printed to create some beautiful infinity scarves. Pictures of the process are shown below. I was really hoping to get some of the students to model their work but everyone seemed a bit camera shy.

Today was a long, somewhat grueling but intensely inspiring day.

I started out by meeting my mentor for the first time at Mink Chocolates. My mentor, Lynn Williams of the Lifestyle Protector is a creative force with so much advice and enthusiasm to offer. I am grateful to have been hooked up with her.

Project Information:

I had ordered swatches in the past but this was the first time I had placed a full order through Spoonflower. I was really impressed with their speed and their service. The only thing I would improve upon is their ability to do color matching. I’m used to setting my designs up for traditional printing. With their service, you upload an RGB image and then just keep your fingers crossed. I know they have plans in the works to improve on this.

So far, it’s a great way to test out my designs. All of these shown (except the Dandelion print in green) will be used in the SWFDS sewing lounge at the upcoming One of a Kind Show in Vancouver.
