As a result, I've been spending some time working on the laptop, making the designs digital. I used some fabric (linen) computer paper to print them out on. I find this handy to get a "feel" for the design, although the colours translate pretty poorly from the screen to the fabric.
Here are a few ideas I'm playing with (feedback welcome) - I'm a bit into circles and lines at the moment ...
I also ordered some screenprinting equipment this week, so I will be able to start printing on the kitchen table soon - looking forward to that!
Thanks for stopping by!
Thursday's are my favourite day in blogland ... for more inspirational and interesting creative spaces, or to join in the fun, head over to Kootoyoo.

How clever are you Nic, designing and printing your own fabric... The circles and lines are great. I especially love the first one.
Very clever indeed! I started doing some printing with photo emulsion screens earlier in the year, but I haven't had time to get back to it... it is a lot of fun though! I especially love the third design... it has such a simple, retro feel! Beautiful!
Very Cool...I like the third the best but 2nd is a close 2nd :P
I get so excited about people printing their own fabric...cause.....I....hope...they send me some to make PANTS!! I love your designs. Good Luck!
I love them all but the first one really does it for me.
You're so clever, doing all these! Love them all, but the second and third one especially!
Wow! They are so wonderful and how inspiring! I particularly love the blue circles + lines one - almost retro :) K
I love the middle one the best, but they're all lovely!
I really love the first one. I like the colors and the design.
They are all great designs - clean, simple, a bit geometric and pretty all at once! The middle would have to be my favourite, but then again I have a bit of a thing for typography.
ooo so lovely!! the last one reminds me of chrissie baubles
You are so clever... and cool! They're all great designs. Couldn't pick a winner.
What lovely designs - you're very clever. I particularly like the third one.
I tried to pick a favourite but I love them all!
Good luck with the actual printing- and I agree with you, Thursdays are my favourite days in blogland too. I love all the creative spaces!

I'm loving the fact that you're planning on printing these up at the kitchen table.
Very nice, all of them are yummy! Thanks for the post love too. Cant wait to see the finished product.
Oh, I'm a sucker for a bit of text action, and the circle-line thing is great too. Well done, looking spiffy.
I love it all!! especially the letter T... circles are fun!! So are screen printing gear... enjoy!!

Your fabric looks lovely. Are you going to sell it of keep it all for yourself?! I would be so tempted to keep it.]
they all look great but the third one is the one I gasped at !
Ohh yes I like ... I think I like them all.
Great idea printing onto linen paper first. They look fab! And Thursday would have to be my fav too :) xox
they look great ~ that will be so exciting to get into the screenprinting :)
Those fabrics are great! I like the stripes and circles.
Awesome look to your designs.As soon as I saw your blog I knew it was one I would love, you just have to mention fabric and screen printing and Im there. Neither of which I am an expert at, just an appreciative admirer of people who are. Cheers!
How exciting! I have been wanting to do some fabric design myself. Yours are lovely!
oh Nic I am in heaven I totally LOVE all your designs you are brilliant!!!!
These design are looking good, I like the 1st and 3rd ones the best I think. Great to see ideas down on fabric - I hope you are enjoying the creative process!
