the time has finally come for me to reveal the final result of my recent project in collaboration with hp sprout! you can read this post to see the first part of the process, but i’ll also catch you up to speed right here. after playing around with the capture app, i chose a few different scans of bright orange kumquat branches to create a custom fabric for my very own shirt design. i uploaded my design to spoonflower, and in a couple of weeks my custom-printed fabric arrived, and i was ready to start sewing! i’m not much of a seamstress, so after doing a bit of research online, i decided to simply trace the pattern of a very simple top i already owned to use as my guide. it was literally two pieces of fabric sewn together and took all of 10 minutes to complete. but what really brought it to life was the bright and cheerful pattern.
it was a really fun process to go from picking flowers in the garden, to designing my own custom print using sprout, and creating a finished product. i would never have even considered taking on a project like this, but with the sprout, i managed to create something in only a matter of hours.

Damn, girl. This is insanely amazing.
The shirt looks amazing! Also loving the shoes though, do you find that the Swedish Hasbeens in nature still darken a bit?
yes! these are actually the mustard color, but i have a pair in natural and they turn a much darker shade of tan over time.
it looks so good! so soft and comfy. which fabric base did you use and is the print public on spoonflower for everyone to buy? thanks!
i used the regular cotton and it’s not currently public, but i’m going to change it in my settings because i’ve gotten a few asks! will let you know!
Love the dress you’re wearing while sewing, can you share who made it?
unfortunately, it’s vintage! it was an ugly pea green and i dyed it with indigo and switched out the buttons!
Hi, I was just wondering if you were using a wacom tablet or what that is?? looks like it has a light? thanks – love the blog x
the “tablet” actually comes with the hp sprout as part of the whole package deal! in addition to being a tablet, it’s a space where you can capture 2-d and 3-d images of any object placed within the space! there is a link within the post to see more about it!
