Prehistoric Sea Clothing

Exciting new collaboration with Three by the Sea Clothing

I’m delighted to share some pictures of the beautiful outfits made by Three by the Sea Clothing with my ‘Swimming with Plesiosaurs’ pattern. This boutique children’s clothes company creates stunning mini collections of children’s clothing, with an exquisite eye for detail and quality. So I was thrilled when they approached me with a request to licence my prehistoric themed design. The beautiful trio of outfits in their ‘Bamboo Prehistoric Sea Collection’ are all made from high quality, lightweight bamboo fabric - so they’re soft and very wearable - just lovely!

Dinosaur Fruit Party!

Collaborative sketches for my latest design - Dinosaur Fruit Party!

I was a bit stumped to start with for this weeks Spoonflower contest with a ‘Kidult’ theme, as I probably do ‘Kidult’ most of the time 😆. So I asked my kids and ended up with a real collaboration! I’ve always loved dinosaurs and my youngest is a real fruit lover so we decided on Dinosaur Fruit Party! My eldest joined in while I was sketching and created some fantastic characters! Here are some of our sketches and the final design - can you spot which bits I used and which characters were entirely his creations!?

Voting is open from now and I’d love a vote if you like our design! https://www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=654
