new Daises Collection

I am very excited to share with you some of my new pattern design work. This is my new DAISIES collection. This past fall, I started to design with more of a collection mindset which means creating a “hero” design and a few supporting patterns to accompany the hero pattern. Initially it was challenging but now I am finding it thoroughly enjoyable. I still have lots to learn and figure out but I believe I’m getting the hang of it, and now I love creating the coordinating patterns.

Once the design is figured out, the next challenge for me was to create different color combinations. It is a fun challenge, but when you start creating the collection in a single color way, sometimes it is hard to transform it into completely different colors. I am sure there are a lot of designers who do this process systematically but I tend to lean on my instincts, at least for now.

This was the original color combination that I designed the entire collection in.

One thing that really helped me with creating the new color combinations was to put the designs in these clean and beautiful mock-ups. These mock-ups bring the collection to life and really allow me to see them as more than just flat vector files on my computer.

I think this peachy combination is my favorite of the bunch.


I was inspired to work with the Pantone Color of the Year with this design. Peach Fuzz is the color for 2024, so I wanted to create a color combination showcasing this scrumptious peachy color. This turned to be my favourite color way of the collection. That was a surprise to me.

I also decided to create a design using Benjamin Moore’s color of the year, Blue Nova. I thought it was a good idea to create fabrics that could match and coordinate with currently trending interior paint colors. It was also super helpful to have some limitations when considering color. Without a specific color goal in mind, I found myself working myself into circles with all the endless possibilities of the rainbow.

A somewhat vintage or retro vibe to this color combination.

With this final color combination, I tried to channel some vintage and retro vibes. I really love that dark green, specially alongside the citron yellow.

Another great part of working with mock-ups is that it helps me to work on scale relationships between the designs. It is also very helpful to see how the designs work differently on different products. And most of all, it is super fun and satisfying seeing the designs on products. Here are a few product mock-ups that make me happy.

As of today, these designs are available on my SPOONFLOWER shop where you can get not only fabric but also some home decor items like tea towels and napkins and table clothes. Be sure to check it out, and If you don’t end up shopping yourself, please heart your favorites in my shop . It really helps others find me amongst all the amazing designs available. Thanks!

“Gathering in the Garden”: A Collaborative Fabric Collection with Cotton + Steel Fabrics.

Announcing “Gathering in the Garden”: A Collaborative Fabric Collection with Cotton + Steel Fabrics.

Hi friends, I'm super excited to share with you all my first fabric collection with Cotton + Steel Fabrics! The collection is called Gathering in the Garden, and as the name suggests, it features playful floral patterns: tulips, camellias, and poppies, to name a few. The patterns are a mix of vintage charm with a modern touch.

Screen-printed in Japan on high-quality cotton, this collection is perfect for so many things—from quilters to home decor enthusiasts and those who love to get crafty. I hope the collection will bring joy and inspiration to makers around the world.

Here are a few examples that people have shared with me so far! Amazing! Seeing these fabrics come to life on these beautiful bags makes me so happy. Look how cute these zippered pouches by kleines_hand_werk are! And Jacqueline at raketenfrau has definitely figured out how to make fanny packs covetable. Crimson Tate’s patchwork duffle kit makes me want to head out for some weekend fun.

Being my first fabric collection, I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was curious to explore the collaboration process. Cotton + Steel made the process so enjoyable. It was great to combine their knowledge of the industry with my passion for creating. One of my favorite parts of collaborating was discussing possible colorways and scale changes. It pushed me as a creative person, and I am grateful for that.

I am very proud of Gathering in the Garden and hope it brings you as much joy as it has brought me. Happy Sewing!
