This is the fabric design that I entered into Project Selvage. Entry details called for a fabric designed for baby boys, which had to be “in repeat”. To give you some idea of scale, in my design, each Koala is about 2″ high. When I last looked, a couple of days ago, there were over 600 entries. I am not sure how many entries, in total, were received before the competition closed on Friday (my time).
Once you had submitted your design, you could browse through the other submissions, and while there was a lot of stuff I would not pick, amongst the huge number of entries, there were plenty of really talented designers, with very strong contenders. Most of the entries would be suitable for boys, but I think quite a few would not be suitable for baby boys – I think the second is harder to achieve than the first.
Somehow, this week, the judges will have to narrow it down to 75 semi-finalists which is going to be tricky. I think it will be quite an achievement to still be in the competition next week. I am crossing my fingers that I get chosen, but realistically I know the odds are not fantastic. If I make it thorough, you can be sure that I will be calling on you all to vote!
Did you enter Project Selvage? Would my fabric be something you would be likely to buy for a baby boy project?
Well done Claire I think it’s adorable! Good luck I’m sure you’ll get into the next round!
That’s so cute! And the Southern Cross is a really nice touch. I would buy this for a baby boy project. All the best in the competition!
What a lovely design Claire. It’s so different from your everyday baby fabrics. I love that you’ve added the Southern Cross. Good luck! Hugs, Christine
I do love the blue – quite a modern, sophisticated blue, but still ‘soft’ and ‘welcoming’ – the sleepy koalas are genius, as are the stars – very twinkly!! Well Done!!
Love catching up on your web page. You’ve done a wonderful job with the fabric design (I love the koalas, very Aussie!) Good luck hope you win.
Claire
Wonderful design – and a very nice, subtle touch with the Southern Cross. Go you – hope you make it to the next stage and then all the way. Barb xx
good luck Claire! It’s adorable.
