Chesna's Birthday Dress



My brother is commissioning Rachel of Mamma Made Designs to make a very special dress for his daughter Chesna for her 6th birthday. I am designing the fabric that it will be made from. It has been a very fun process. I started from a drawing of a horse and rider that Chesna made....



...I produced a vector line drawing of the form...







...Added some color...and at this point I was quite amazed at the elegance of this form which was produced by a 5 year old!...




...Next I went through a lot of experimenting with patterns using the horse...




















And I'm still doing some color experiments just for fun:










This is the final fabric design.
Now I'm getting ready to order it. It will be so exciting to see what Rachel produces from it!
