Apple-Printed Fabric

apple

Today seemed like a good day to get crafty. I'd seen this on Pinterest, and what a better way to make some fabric more interesting than to add a cute print?

Better yet, I got to be outside in the sun to work on it. It's a beautiful day up here in the woods, the kind of day I long for in the never-ending winter. Tonight we're having an Unemployment Party (what a thing to celebrate!) on the barge, which is a pontoon boat stripped of all furniture and canopy--basically a flat boat used for hauling. We put a grill on it, and I believe it will be adorned with a couple couches for proper seating. I may be soon employed, however: I applied for a job today to telemarket donations at my school this fall. In the meantime, I plan to enjoy the summer weather in the best place possible: the lake!

    1. Thank you!! I ended up making a skirt--I thought the print might be overwhelming in a dress, but in a skirt it was just right. :)

  2. Very cute, in the right colours it could be very Orla Kiely. Will you post pictures of the finished skirt? I'm sure it's adorable!

    1. Thanks!! I had never heard of Orla Kiely so I looked her up... what fantastic prints! So much inspiration. Thank you for cluing me in!

      I definitely will! Perhaps this will motivate me to actually get outside to take the photos, haha.

    2. Orla Kiely is fairly ubiquitous on this side of the Atlantic, I went to a sample sale and £1000 dresses were down to £100 but I still couldn't justify buying anything for that much so I ended up just spending ages admiring the clothes up close (definitely not a creeper).

      Please oh please do, can't wait to see them :)

  3. That was a very clever idea!
