New Bandanas for Cool Dogs

May 30, 2017

Joni with a bandanaTo celebrate the recent launch of my fabric collection, Arroyo, I’ve been making some bandanas for my favorite pups! I’ve been sharing some of the #patternpups on Instagram, but I thought it would be fun to showcase a bunch of them here, too. Above, we’ve got Joni the Shepherd, who lives with Bianca from Chaparral Studio.

Does your pup need a Cotton & Flax bandana? Yardage of Arroyo will be available in stores soon, and this project couldn’t be easier. Leave me a comment on Instagram if you plan to create one for your dog!

Explorer Tote Bags – Made with Arroyo

May 12, 2017

DIY Patterned Tote BagOne of the most exciting things about debuting Arroyo, my first fabric collection with Robert Kaufman, is seeing the finished projects roll in as designers and sewers get their hands on the fabric. These beautiful bags were created by Anna Graham of Noodlehead, using her Explorer Tote pattern. I’m completely obsessed, and while I’ve skipped adding bags to the Cotton & Flax product line until now, these bags have me daydreaming…

Arroyo Explorer Tote BagSeeing other’s creativity shine as they adapt my fabrics in new ways is so exciting — it’s such a pleasure to see artists like Anna integrate my patterns into her designs.

DIY Patterned Tote BagI love all the lovely details in these bags! The gorgeous leather straps, that shiny little clasp… even the contrasting liner fabric is a charming accent. Anna’s tote bag pattern walks you through all the steps of creating this bag, and she’ll guide you in selecting materials that will age beautifully.

DIY Patterned Tote Bag DIY Explorer Tote BagArroyo fabric will be debuting in fabric and sewing stores this summer! Ask your favorite shop if they’ll be carrying it. As more projects start rolling in, I’ll be sharing them here on the blog, as well as on Instagram under #ArroyoFabric. I can’t wait to see what you’ll create with this fabric!
