Pirate's Life

Fabric Name- Pirate’s Life by Riley Blake

Material- 100% cotton fabric

Background color- Blue

Theme- Pirates

Description:

Yo! Ho! Ho! This pirate-themed fabric is so much fun! Take a look at the life of a pirate. Sailing the high seas, burying treasure, swimming with sharks, caring for parrots, floating on rafts and in barrels, wielding swords and flying the jolly roger. The captain wears an eye patch and has a hook for a hand. What an adventure!

I recently had the pleasure to use this fabric to make goody bags for a pirate-themed birthday party. Take a look at the bag here. What would you use this fabric for?

Girl Science Fabric by Zinnia’s Closet

Exciting things are happening at Zinnia’s Closet! Introducing our very own girl science fabric!

Chemistry Fabric by Zinnia's ClosetBiology Fabric by Zinnia's ClosetMath Fabric by Zinnia's Closet

Science was my first love. I studied chemistry and biology in school and worked for 10 years as a scientist before having my family. When I learned how to sew, I discovered science fabric! I couldn’t resist buying every pattern I could find. Over time I realized that many others enjoy the fabric as much as I do.

Earlier this year I decided to design my own science fabric, starting with my three favorite subjects: chemistry, biology and math. I wanted to appeal to girls, and make the designs fun and educational at the same time.

The chemistry design has a few simple calculations, along with colorful lab equipment and chemical elements. The biology fabric covers several areas of biology, from medicine to zoology to botany. The math fabric has some basic algebra and geometry, and interesting patterns such as the binary code and Fibonacci sequence.

I wanted to have some diversity in the designs as well. There are three different girls available with each pattern:

 

 

 

I’ll be adding more subjects and girls in the coming months. I’d love to hear what you think! Please comment below, and feel free to send a message if you have any requests.

If you’d like to see the bags I made with these designs, please click here.

Medical Laboratory Professionals Week

Monster Lab DNA

April 21-27, 2019 is Medical Laboratory Professionals Week.

So in honor of Lab Week, I thought I’d share this science fabric by Studio e. It’s called Monster Lab DNA by Dana Saulnier of The Patterned Peacock. There are cells, strands of DNA, tubes of DNA, and atomic rings. The words Scientist, Genes, Atom, DNA, Nucleus and Molecules are scattered throughout the pattern. If you look closely at the background, you can see X’s, which are chromosomes. I think this pattern is very fitting for a medical laboratory.

Check out the bag I made with this fabric here.

Happy Lab Week to all the Medical Laboratory Professionals out there!
