Gift Wrap

I did these 2 patterns for a Spoonflower fabric challenge but they both are perfect for gift wrap. I also made die-cut gift tags from some of the elements. Both designs are available in my Etsy shop.

Holiday Treats on Spoonflower

This week's challenge on Spoonflower was "Holidays around the World".  I chose Holiday Treats - mugs of hot cocoa (or hot toddy?) candy canes, and gingerbread cookies because nothing says the holidays like lots of yummy food! You can vote for this week's challenge here.

Since Spoonflower not only prints fabric but also gift wrap, I ordered some for the holidays.

Fair Isle Fashion

This week, the challenge on Spoonflower is "Fair Isle".

Growing up, back in the day, I had Fair Isle sweaters in every color. Some were purchased in Scotland with beautiful patterns, some were cardigans, some pullovers. These were the inspiration for my pattern. And who better to model the sweaters than a family of bears!

You can vote for your favorite Fair Isle design on the Spoonflower website, here.
