I want to be a textile designer

Who won’t love to be a textile designer. People like Anna Maria Horner inspire me. Dude, the lady has like 6 kids and comes out with a new line of textile design every year!

I did some research and found spoonflower to be a super easy way to print up fabric using my own designs. I had a yard printed up on the quilting weight cotton. I wish the fabric was softer and lighter, but there are other fabrics you can print on for more money. The cotton I used costs $16.20/yard.

The shirt was made based on a pattern from this Japanese sewing book. Yeah for new clothes.
