Chalk Doodles fabric now available!

Look! Look look look! I designed a fabric and got it printed for a project, and if you like it YOU can order it too!

Canvas fabric with bright pink, yellow, blue, and green hand-drawn patterns folded up and stacked on matching solid color canvas.

This design is called “Chalk Doodles” because it’s supposed to look like (a professional rendition of) children’s chalk drawings.

I’m planning to make some toddler backpacks to sell, and I thought having my own lining fabric would make them extra special. I got some help with color matching via instagram polls, and then did my best to make something happy and fun, that would make you smile every time you opened the backpack.

This is my first official foray into surface design, although I’ve been filling up papers with doodles and patterns for most of my life. I’m really happy with how it turned out, I think it’s just as cheerful and energetic as I wanted it to be.

Canvas fabric with bright pink, yellow, blue, and green hand-drawn patterns scrunched up a little to show drape/weave.

I got my fabric printed at RealFabric.com, on their cotton canvas. I’m really happy with the quality of both the print and the fabric. The colors are bright, the lines are crisp, and I think this canvas is going to be just right as the lining for the backpacks I want to make – it’s lighter than the canvas I got for the exterior, but still nice and sturdy.

ALSO, the most exciting part for me is that RealFabric approved the design for their marketplace, which means that you can order Chalk Doodles on any of their fabrics!
