PRETTY ALL-OVER-PRINT PATTERNED LEGGINGS

Zazzle recently introduced all-over-print leggings, and I've been having tons of fun designing them. In fact, I've made so many that I have an entire collection full - and the list is growing! 

You can check out all 80+ of them here.

I thought it would be fun to show off some of my favorites, especially since they are 50% today through midnight Pacific Standard Time (November 2nd, 2016). Just use the code NEWOUTFITS4U at checkout and get these beautiful, unique leggings at half price.

1. I absolutely love this brand-new one. I made them to look like a knitted / cross stitch Christmas sweater. These intricately-designed leggings have a festive pattern made up of snowmen, reindeer, pine trees, birds, mountains, snowflakes and much more. No one else will have a pair of holiday leggings as gorgeous as these!

2. Are you from the future? If you are, you need some space pants. I made this design specifically for leggings, because nothing is cooler than wearing the universe. These are geometric and futuristic looking, and each triangle has a different glimpse of outer space inside, from galaxies to nebulae, the moon, the sun, stars, and more.

3. Maybe you've traveled here from the past instead of the future. These geeky leggings are covered in an original pattern I made to look like vintage library card catalog drawers. As a bonus, each drawer has a different author's name on it.

4. Since I can't stop loving books, I also had to add my bookshelf pattern. This one has a 3D / trompe l'oeil effect that's really cool.

Personalize Your Dance Studio with a Custom Wall Poster

PERSONALIZED DANCE STUDIO POSTERS

I haven't added many designs to the ClogDance Shop lately, so I've been working on it this week. One new design works for many forms of dance, not just clogging.  It's a custom dance studio poster with a retro look. There are various versions of it. Here are a couple examples: the pink striped and the light blue.

On the product page, all you have to do is use the easy template fields to fill in your dance studio name and a couple more lines of text at the bottom - or press "Customize It" to change fonts. 

A vintage 1920s woman dancer done in stencil surrounds the words "Dance Studio." She's doing a modern freestyle jazz type dance, waving a long scarf. These posters are cute for any time of dance: ballet, tap, swing, belly dancing, clogging, salsa, ballroom, and more. Whatever your passion, you can personalize to fit it.

These posters would make a great gift for a dance teacher, too.

New Custom Fabric for All Your Craft Projects

Easily Find or Make Any Fabric You Want

I don't think I'm particularly skilled when it comes to sewing. Back in junior high Home Ec class, I neither stood out as brilliant or bad. My teacher was strict and made us stay after school to complete our projects, so I developed a dislike for the sewing machine. But by high school, I became the go-to sewing person in my family - simply because nobody else knew how to sew, and I liked the challenge of trying to figure out how to make something.

When my Grateful-Dead-following brother wanted "groovy" curtains for his VW van, we picked out the fabric together at the local big box store, and I sewed them up. He liked those curtains so much, they stayed in his van until they had long faded and he had to trade in the old van for a vehicle that actually ran on a regular basis. I made beds for our cats, bags, pillows, and a myriad of small projects for fun, too. I admit, I'm still not very good at sewing, but I keep a stack of fabrics on hand, ready for the next request.

So, when Zazzle recently introduced new custom fabric that you can apply any design to - anything that your imagination can dream up - I thought, "This is so cool!" Instead of going to a generic big box store and having to pick from what was in front of us, today, my brother and I could have designed the perfect pattern for those curtains. The infinite possibilities make my imagination work overtime.

How to Design Your Fabric on Zazzle

No more wandering around under the fluorescent lights, hoping to stumble across something that looks vaguely like what you have in mind. You can pick from thousands and thousands of original designs - or even make your own from scratch. You can order your custom-printed fabric by the yard, fat quarter or swatch on materials ranging from cotton to twill, polyester and fine linen.

Here's a basic template I set up, to show you how to get started designing your own fabric:

Create Your Own Custom Personalized Fabric by FunnyTShirtsAndMore

On that page, scroll down to "About This Design" to read the instructions. Easily add photos, tile a name or monogram, pick a background color, increase or decrease the size of your design on the fabric. Use the blank canvas any way you like.

 Fun, Ready-Made Fabrics on Zazzle

But if the blank fabric is too daunting for you, Zazzle's designers are already hard at work making unique designs for every project you can imagine. Check out all the fabric on Zazzle HERE.

Here are some that I've made so far - and a few of my favorites from other designers.

Care for some retro 50s poodle skirt dogs? I made this fabric pattern out of cute poodles with swirling leashes and polka dots:

Poodle Skirt Retro Pink and Black 50s Pattern Fabric by FancyCelebration

Here's another fun retro one I made recently. It makes me wish I owned a pair of cat-eye glasses:

Eyeglasses Retro Modern Hipster with Pink Gingham Fabric by FancyCelebration

You can't go wrong with your name on an anchor. This would look pretty for a nautical project. All text is customizable.

Here are a few more of my fabric designs so far: beer, playing card suits, strawberries and a colorful quatrefoil:

Strawberry Cream Fruit Pattern Pretty Fabric by FancyCelebration

My favorites from other designers

New fabric designs are being added fast and I haven't even begun to look at them all. But here are a few from fellow designers that have stood out for me because they're so unique.

I like this school pattern. It would be fun for a teacher's art project:

School Time | Changeable Background Color Fabric by DesignsbyDonnaSiggy

I also think this kitty cat design is very cute:

I love the idea of a project that comes ready to sew, so this doll pattern is my favorite:

Have fun designing or picking out your own, original fabric on Zazzle!
