This Week’s Design Contest Winner: Geologist by day, fabric designer by night

February 16, 2012

The winner of this week's ditsy sea creatures fabric design contest is Roz Robinson, a geologist and mom who also apparently dabbles (quite well!) in fabric design. Her "Ammonite Ditsy Print" has the virtue, one can assume, of being scientifically accurate as well as lovely! Ditsy prints are great for apparel, so we're hoping to see some great project photos over the next few weeks.

Ditsy Sea Creatures: Vote for your favorites in a school of small prints

February 9, 2012

This week we resurrected a variation on a popular but difficult theme from one of our fall contests: ditsy prints. Ditsy refers to very small prints designed to scatter rather than to repeat in an obviously symmetrical way. Ditsy prints are popular for apparel sewing. Deciding which of the contest entries best capture the idea of ditsy through the use of sea critters is the mission before you today, should you choose to accept it.

The winner turns out to be Virginie Ozanon, a young artist from Lyon, France, who goes by the moniker demigoutte on our site. Congratulations, Virginie, on your first win!

A Dizzying Number Of Ditsy Prints: Vote for your favorites!

September 29, 2011

This week was a hard contest. We asked designers to come up with ditsy prints, which is a genre of fabric design for which — it turns out — there's not a terribly specific definition. Over 400 designs were submitted and so, with the help of our intrepid team of volunteer moderators, we had to do some serious whittling to get down to a manageable field of entries. Ditsy prints are small-scale prints, often used for clothing, that employ a scatter effect rather than a symmetrical design. As tough as it was to decide which of the entries really fit that definition, one rather thrilling thing about this week's contest is that this is the first contest we've every had specifically for small prints, which really are much more common in the fabric world than the larger repeat sizes that characterize most of our contests. We hope you'll have fun voting, but hope you'll have even more fun sewing things with the winners in a week or two!
