Have you heard me rave about Sprout Patterns yet? That place of amazing technology where you can design a dress on the web, see what it looks like in 3D, and have it arrive already printed on fabric?
Well, they’re doing an amazing promotion right now with the Colette Moneta dress. For the entire month of march, you can buy this dress for 20% off! And if you take a picture of your fabric, or the dress, and instagram it tagged #MonetaMadness you could win a $100 gift card!
Not to mention that this dress is super cute, comfortable, and really easy to make! I made the above dress in 2 hours one afternoon.
What does your Moneta look like?
I mentioned my involvement in the new Spoonflower project called Sprout Patterns before, but to repeat myself: there is an amazing new thing out there called Sprout Patterns and you really really must go check it out. The idea is that Spoonflower will actually print the pattern for various garments and projects directly on the fabric for you, filled in with your chosen design. They've partnered with a whole bunch of indy pattern makers to bring you a really diverse and excellent set of options. In addition, you can actually see your project before you buy it, projected in 3D in your browser...[read more]...
Sometimes it's Good to Pick Up a Needle and Thread
I've been feeling a little too electronically attached lately, missing the feel of materials in my hands. Fortunately, I was connected enough to read an email from Spoonflower announcing a new service, Sprout Patterns, with an offer to order a pouch at a very nominal price. I clicked over to learn more:
"Sprout Patterns is a new service that offers curated indie sewing patterns that you combine with Spoonflower designs to create customized cut and sew projects. Each project is digitally printed by Spoonflower at their Durham, NC headquarters. We take out all the work of putting a sewing pattern onto fabric and leave you with the fun.
You simply choose your sewing pattern from our curated collection of indie patterns, then fill the pattern with your fabric design of choice from Spoonflower’s marketplace. Select your size and type of fabric, and we do all the rest! You will receive a package that includes a digitally printed custom sewing pattern—all you need to do is cut and sew!"
I quickly picked a couple of fabrics I had on Spoonflower and placed the order. Couldn't have been any easier.
A short time later I received the order, folded neatly into a small envelope.
There are great instructions for sewing the pouch on the website for making a basic pouch, with a link to make a buttoned version. I wanted to do some handstitching and wanted the pouch to be structured, and able to stand up on it's own when filled with my traveling art journaling supplies. I used HeatnBond Lite to fuse the outer print to plain white cotton. Then I did parallel rows of running stitch, inspired by kantha quilts. Once that was done it was quick and easy to stitch it up, with a gusseted bottom to make it stand up. I added a bit of grosgrain ribbon I had for a pull.
It sits nicely when filled with my journaling supplies.
