I've been drawing quite a lot this week - I seem to be full of design ideas at the moment, so I'm getting them down on paper, then editing them with my trusty red pen ...
I tend to draw, then edit, then draw, then scan, then refine on the computer until I'm happy, then play some more with repeat patterns. It usually takes a couple of weeks to get something to a stage that I might consider printing it, or decide that it needs to be filed in the bin! After that, it's the best bit - colour and fabric choices. Have you seen this nifty tool: create your own colour palette ...
These little tools are great for coming up with colour ideas, and are a bit of fun too! More crafty spaces here!

Thanks for the link to the colour tool. I have so much trouble with colour, I'm a greyscale girl at heart:)
Great colours, what a handy little tool, thanks for sharing...
Oooh, those colour swatches look fun and so does your drawing. Can't wait to see what you make next. :)
