there's lots of different ways to create a repeat for your fabric printing. Some of my patterns start as doodles and I enlarge them on the copier really big, so they have a fuzzy loose quality to them. I knew another designer that was the opposite - she would draw big and shrink things down - the pattern above will be available at repeat very soon. I did a combination of photocopying and cutting and pasting. I usually make several copies and lay it out like tiles to see how they work together. I had a nice visit from Roisin today - we are so excited for everyone to see our new fabrics.

  1. I was working on a repeat today, but really, I'm pretty clueless and my technique consists of hours of trial and error!

    Looking forward to seeing what you and Roisin have been working on.
