The kind folk over at Craft magazine gave a shout out to Spoonflower today because we printed up Samantha Hahn's excellent design for their Maker Faire tablecloth. Woo-hoo! I do love Craft for the spectrum of ideas they offer to us making types, and if you do, too, perhaps you'll want to pick up a yard of Samantha's design in our Etsy shop. I just wish I could see it--not to mention the Craft staff! and all the crafty families! and all you makers of handmade stuff at your tables!--in person at Maker Faire. There's always next year, though. Right, Stephen? Right.
Have you all seen Lisa.littlek's adorable, scrappy toddler sun hat in our Flickr pool today? It caught my eye right away because I've been experiencing a fair amount of sun hat envy while making the outside rounds with my daughters lately. At the pool yesterday, an excellent gray linen hat with a row of white shell buttons around it. At Locopops, our local popsicle store, the perfect straw hat with a brim not too wide and not too floppy. Part of it is that there are a lot of Japanese women living in our neighborhood here in Chapel Hill, and I swear that they all seem to know secret, cool sources of amazing, casual, interestingly stitched sun hats. Anyone know of any good sun hat patterns or tutorials out there? If you do, please leave a link in the comments!
You could "generously ink" a fish in order to make a fish-printed garment like this one from Martha Stewart. Or you could save your fish for the grill and just Spoonflower! I'm just sayin'....

I don't know about you all, but I'm obsessed with summery halter top patterns lately. In NC, we're already getting 85 degree days sprinkled in amongst our otherwise springy weeks, so I know that beach and pool season are just around the corner!
When I saw Missemmaruth's halter top in our Flickr pool this morning, I couldn't suppress a squeal. I love it! It's made from Spoonflower printed fabric designed by Imakethings and based on a free pattern offered by IchiGoGirl through Burdastyle. Super flattering, isn't it? Must go do some downloading and printing now....
