Pirate’s Life

Pirate's Life

Fabric Name- Pirate’s Life by Riley Blake

Material- 100% cotton fabric

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?

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!

Autism Awareness Day 2019

April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day. Having a young child, my family has come across many children on the Autism Spectrum in our school system. Everything from children needing to be tube fed and wheelchair bound, to those that have sensory sensitivities, to those that are absolutely brilliant. Some can hardly speak, while others are reading Shakespeare at 6 years old. We have witnessed the entire spectrum in our very small corner of the world.

I don’t pretend to know so much about Autism. I try to be supportive and understanding of the children and their parents. I know that every day can be struggle. We all need to be a little less judgmental, and a little more patient.

Be kind, everyone. Please enjoy this blue puzzle piece fabric in honor of World Autism Awareness Day, 2019.
