It’s so exciting to see your Arroyo sewing projects start to appear on social media — thank you so much for sharing your projects with the #ArroyoFabric hashtag. I wanted to share some of my recent favorite projects that have been shared to the feed! If you’re sewing anything with Arroyo, I hope you’ll tag me in the photo on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.

To 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.
Kate‘s pup June might be the happiest pup I’ve ever seen, and she looks even spottier than usual in her Arroyo bandana!
Nichole‘s dog Bucky, he’s such a good boy!
This cutie pug is Yoshi, wearing an appropriately green dotty bandana!
Morgan the Beagle is happily sporting a blue DNA print bandana, while relaxing in the shade.
Love this snapshot of Brooks the Mutt in a Hills & Valleys print bandana — the pattern mirrors that puppy tongue!
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!
More beautiful projects created with my first fabric collection, Arroyo for Robert Kaufman! This quilt was designed by Nichole Ramirez, and sewn and quilted by Erica and Heather Cartwright. This beauty was featured in Today’s Quilter Magazine this month! So cool to see the wide range of possibilities of what you can create with Arroyo.

One 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…
Seeing 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.
I 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.
Arroyo 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!
It’s been almost a year in the making, but today I can finally share a collection of 44 (!!) patterned fabrics created in collaboration with Robert Kaufman Fabrics! The collection is called Arroyo, and was inspired by the colors and patterns of my life in Los Angeles….
