How to Find Coordinate Fabrics on Raspberry Creek Fabrics!

Hello Beautiful Friends!

I have a quick tip for finding coordinating fabrics and wallpapers in my shop on Raspberry Creek Fabrics! 

If you find a design you love, look in the description or the tags for the name of its Collection. Some designers put this information in the description, some in the tags. See the example below. I highlighted the collection in black.

Next, copy and paste this collection name into the search bar in the upper left corner like this:

Once you put the information in the search bar, a drop down menu will give you a glimpse of any designs under that collection name. NOTE: There may be more than one collection with the same name, so look for the designer listed with each design. You can click on individual items in the drop down, or just hit enter in the search bar and you will see something like this page:

All designs with this collection name will show up on a new page! You can check the filter Browse by Designer area at the left of the page to see if you are dealing with just one designer or more. 

That's It!

I hope this helps you navigate Raspberry Creek Fabrics. Chances are if you find a fabric or wallpaper you love, there are coordinates that will add to your project. 

Have fun!

Peace, Love, and Creativity,

Happy Summer and a Fabric Stock-Up Sale!

Happy Summer, Beautiful Friends!

I hope you are staying cool and enjoying time with your people this season.

Summer is for fun, but also for planning end-of-the-year things, like back-to-school, Halloween, and dare I say it...the Holidays!

I know a lot of makers are setting their sights on holiday crafting. Handmade gifts seem essential in these times and everybody loves homemade Halloween Costumes, am I right? I made a lot of my son's Halloween costumes when he was little. He was a ghost, Peter Pan, a bear, all which I made with crafting supplies. Have you ever made a costume for your little one or yourself? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below. :)

There is a great sale this week on Fat Quarters at Spoonflower. They are offering 50% OFF through July 14, 2023.  It's a great deal that doesn't come along often. Restock that supply closet for the upcoming season of making and save some money. Sounds good to me!

And don't forget to visit Raspberry Creek Fabrics this month. They are running a SALE on ALL CUSTOM PRINTS FABRIC! No code needed. The discount is already reflected in the price. This sale runs for the whole month of July! 

I have been busy designing new patterns for my Spoonflower and Raspberry Creek Fabrics Shops. I just made available 42 New Designs and 12+ New Collections! Here are a few of my new designs:

I think the Tropical Fruit POP collection would make a perfect tablescape for your Summer Luau, don't you?

Enjoy the rest of your Summer. Don't forget your Sunblock and HYDRATE!

Create a Moveable Gallery Display Wall For Your Art Studio

Hello Friends!

If you are an Artist or Creative, chances are you have been spending a lot more time creating than usual. Same here.

Now with all the new paintings, I have filled my storage space and needed a solution. 

I have had this idea for a while, thinking that this may be a great solution for display at art shows, craft fairs, etc. (If you haven't priced exhibit walls for shows, they are super expensive. This idea may be a great money saver. Bonus!) No better time than the present #STAYHOME lockdown to try making this gallery wall.

Mind you, this was only a trial run, but I think my idea will work for what I need. It will get my artwork up off the floor, and also add visual interest to the room where it is placed.

Here is what I used:

Room Dividing Screen

String

S-Hooks

Here is how I did it:

I have this awesome 3-panel room divider that currently has not function. It is iron and the panels themselves are burlap fabric. I did not want to put holes in the fabric, so I thought I would use chain vertically with the loops big enough to fit my s-hooks. Of course, I don't have the chain yet, but I used string to try out my design theory and check layout of the artwork. It looks so good I may leave it this way for a while, or at least until I feel like chancing a trip to the local home repair/hardware store.

I started by attaching the string to the top with a basic loop knot. I measured the string to the bottom of the screen, knowing I would be using some of the length for more loop knots.

I measured from the top of the fabric the distance for the first loop knot the distance my hanging wire is from the top of my painting. (I generally always measure that wire 6 inches from the top of my paintings.)

After hanging the first painting, I measured from the bottom of the painting following the steps above for the next loop knot plus one inch. This will give space between paintings and can be adjusted accordingly. 

*HINT: If you make the loop knots a little bigger, you can pull the string and adjust the picture height once you hang it.

Continue this until you have filled the panel. I have added more since I took the picture above.

I stopped after covering one side with art. This way, the side that faces my living space is still just a blank screen. If I were to use this at a show or fair, I would definitely use the chain idea and run it down both sides so I could exhibit twice as much artwork!

I now have a multi-functional, moveable art gallery wall that adds color, privacy, and functional storage to my studio!

The best part of this project is that it cost me a total of zero dollars, since I already had the screen. But, if you don't have one, thrift stores may be a great place to find one. I found this one at Hobby Lobby a few years ago for half price. The art is not permanently fixed to the screen and I can still return the screen to its original use at any time.

Do you like this idea? Please let me know in the comments if you try it. I would love to see your studio improvement projects. Tag me @goinspirebeauty on instagram or twitter.

Stay well and keep creating!

Blessings,

Jodi
