purple "e" custom fabric update

Jkat_productsRemember the purple "e" fabric? Well, here's what a 26" x 26" square of custom fabric will get you: 1 uptown handbag, 1 roxy wristlet, 1 zoey mirror/pouch, 1 headband, 3 key fobs and 4 extra fabric-covered mirrors. How about that?!

My client is jumping for joy - she said her son has never been so excited to give his sister a gift! Yay!! Glad I could be a part of making people happy - good karma!

Email me at jan[at]daisyjanie[dot]com if I can help you with a custom fabric design or printing project.

working on: cool custom fabric project

Jkat_fabricswatchesI've been working on this very cute project for about 2 weeks now. The client contacted me to print a custom fabric for her, which I will then sew into some Daisy Janie items for her: an uptown handbag, a headband, a roxy wristlet, a couple zoey pouches and maybe a key fob or 2.

The initial concept was done by her son and is a gift from him to his sister in celebration of her Bat Mitzvah. You might recognize the "signature style" upon which it's loosely based. (Considering it's not an exact duplicate, the colors are completely different and it's not for re-sale, I thought it was safe to go ahead with it.)

I tightened and cleaned the client's design, set-up the repeat, colormatched the purple shades - and off to the printer!  The bottom image is the strike-off (pardon the yellow cast from my camera!!). It looks splendid in person - the client loves it. So it's a go. Yay!

She said her daughter will be over the moon with her brother's gift! I think it's awesome not only that he wanted to do this for his sister but also that his mom encouraged him to 'go for it'! (Did I mention he's 14? What a brother!)

  • Thanks for visiting!! I'm the blood, sweat & tears behind Daisy Janie, my fabric handbag biz. I'm segueing into textile design b/c handbags will soon envelop my home like The Blob. I'll be writing about the textile adventures as I go, and hopefully some other mumbo-jumbo, too. My other blog, Scoutie Girl has become pretty popular and, not wanting to displease the masses, keeping it current keeps me busy! I'm a 38-yr-old mom to a 10-yr-old Peanut Man, wife to Flash, doggie-owner of Scout and George. I like to run, workout, hike, sew, google (is that a hobby?), cook, eat, drink beer, and laugh (a lot).
