byMindy: The M Collection

So in my last post I wrote a little teaser about my 1st line of fabric "The M Collection". I thought I might tell you just a little bit more about it.

I'd be thinking about designing a line for a long time, but always felt like it wasn't the right moment. For Christmas this last year, my supportive parents gave me a wacom tablet. Once I got accustomed to using it ... GAME ON!

Most of the inspiration came from nature. I did, however, also seek inspiration from some pretty normal icons (arrows).

After designing numerous patterns & selecting my 30 favorite, I had a collection. I ordered a sample from Spoonflower. When my package arrived & I opened it, I felt like a kid on Christmas. I was super happy with how it all turned out. After the excitement faded, a little disappointment came over me. I realized that with prepping for all the upcoming sales, I couldn't afford to order my fabric so I could make products out of it.

A few weeks went by & a package arrived at the house. My hubby had ordered 10 of the fabrics so I could have it for the upcoming shows! He's got some serious brownie points accrued right now.

I hope you enjoy the pictures of my fabric. Let me know what are your favorites!
