« Could I Design Fabric?

I know, I do too much already, but can’t I design my own fabric too? I always love to find new fabric designers, and sometimes wish I could make my own. I took an hour at the computer today to see what I could come up with… Do you think I have what it takes?

    Ummm, DEF! I would buy the top on in a heart beat to line the drawers of the desk I am refinishing! You let me know when it goes on sale :)

    I love it! Especially the first one. even if it’s only to sell as background tiles for peoples blogs or websites…the seed is planted.

    @Amanda, @Designers Emporium - Yea! Ok - now if you girls could find me an agent and a manufacturer, that’d be great! :)

    There is a fabric design school right here in the Bay Area…maybe take a few classes and learn the art of it. You know…during your “free” time.

    @ Carole - You probably didn’t put your email address in on the first one. Your gravatar is attached to your email address. Okay - now find someone to print my fabric so we can make PILLOWS!! :)

    There’s a cool company that prints fabric for small companies, can’t think of their name, they were featured on Etsy. Here’s their link: http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome

    I have been wanting to do this for ages, let me know if you decide to use them, I would LOVE to see the outcome…

    My sweet talented Brooke. I LOVE the idea of you designing fabric. I will be the first in line to buy it. Let me know. I already have ideas for a quilt.
