I almost bought a set of mid century drapes for $200.00 but I kept thinking.. "They are 60 years old, how long will they last?" So, after researching the almost non existent selection of cool vintage look fabrics I decided to participate in a fabric design website where you can design your own fabrics and wall papers and even sell them if you want. I have a lot of experience with working with vector files and illustrations from my film making background, so it is not very hard for me.
Here are my first designs. I will be using the red starburst for my drapes, and the cream with coral and turquoise starbursts on a wall paper on my bathroom ceiling. I may use the boomerang print for some pillows, but I have a few more ideas I hope to try first. Here is the link to the site where I have my little store, and where you can design your own fabric.
If any "Full Member" of this group, would like to have me design you a custom vintage pattern for fabric for your trailer, I will do it for free for you. I enjoy working with the program. You will just need to send me your colors, and style wishes and we can fool around with it. It doesn't cost me anything to upload a design so there is no risk in trying things out. The fabrics sell from $17.00-$30.00 a yard depending on the thickness and weave of fabric you choose. I get 10% of the sale from people who buy my designs so I am hoping to sell some by the time I order my fabric and maybe get mine for free. The main thing is.. I can finally get the exact mid century fabric that I want.. and so can you!
Here is a photo of some thumbnails of my designs. Click on the link to see the actual library.
