It’s no secret that I’m wild about stripes. Not only will you find them in many of my designs on both stationery and fabric, but they’re also on my wall! My washi tape wall is one of the many house projects I’ve worked on since moving.
There was no method or plan to washi-ing my wall. I just got a chair, grabbed some tape and got to work. I didn’t measure anything or sketch out the color scheme for the stripes. Whatever color I reached for, was what I put up next. It felt a lot like designing. Some of the stripes came out uneven, which I’m fine with. Washi tape is so forgiving. I was able to pull it off and on as many times as needed. The only tape I had problems with was the yellow striped tape, which I ended up using rubber cement to secure it to the wall.
It’s been a little over a month, the tape hasn’t fallen off and I still haven’t grown tired on the stripes. They’re the perfect punch of color and happiness!

– The Floral Pillowcase with piano keyboard strip was made using pattern #16. The piano keyboard strips were cut 3″ x 11″ and I used a 1/2″ seam allowance. The body was cut 26 1/2″ x 41 1/2″ to accomate the larger seam allowance.
– The Strips Pillowcase was made using the precut strips pattern #26 as our inspiration, but I choose 11- 3 1/2″ strips cut wof. After sewing all of the strips together I trimed the section to 26″ x 41″. This allowed the strips to run verticle around the pillow. Our solid color cuff was cut 11″ x 41″. All seams were sewn using a 1/2″ seam allowance.

I couldn’t wait to share this little dress I just found. The sleeves and collar have my head spinning. I’ve always been a fan of baseball tees. So, I love how Claudia combined my knit fabric with an old men’s tee. That’s repurposing done right! Yes, please, I’ll take one of those.

It hit me last week that summer was coming to a end. One of the things I wanted to do this summer was go on a picnic. It must have been meant to be because just as I was thinking this, I received a package in the mail from Brooke. The quilt was practically screaming to be taken on a picnic. So, what did I do?
I grabbed the quilt, picked up some food and headed to the park for a picnic.
I just love how fun this quilt is. The solids balance the printed fabrics perfectly! Another awesome job by Brooke of Silly Mama Quilts. If you want to make one for yourself, Brooke made a free tutorial available here.

As someone who has been scratched one too many time from the car seat strap, I have a great appreciation and understand the necessity of these little car seat strap covers. And I love that there’s minky on the back! See more here.

I’m so happy to share with you my new line of fabric, “Girl Friends.” The inspiration behind this line comes from my closest friends, a group of five girls. We live in different cities, but each year we get together. New memories are formed and adventures are shared, just like my new line Girl Friends. Their first adventure . . . mermaids.
There’s seven main characters of the collection, each with their own little personality.
I started drawing this girl when I was eight or nine years old. I would draw her over and over in my sketch pad. She was a ballerina, always wore her hair in a bun and loved the color pink. It’s such a sweet feeling to see her on fabric.
Fabric shops can order beginning mid-September. It will start shipping December.

I saw this fabric sighting a couple of weeks ago while watching the Today Show. It was a pretty cool fabric sighting . . . sipping on coffee and I glanced up to see my fabric on TV. Totally cool. (You can see the segment here). And head here to see crayon rolls, chalk mat/place mats and more sash stashes. Kate Williams Designs has tons of good stuff!
