You can never really have enough fabric, can you? 
I love designing patterns for fabric. Even when I was l working in my first two jobs—embroidery and tailoring—I tried to create unique fabrics for myself using the tools available at the time. Back then, that mainly involved painting directly onto the fabric or embroidering by hand or machine.
By now, I’ve certainly designed about thousand individual patterns. Not all of them have made it to stores, but quite a few can be found on a wide variety of fabric types from the fabric manufacturers Lillestoff (Germany and the EU), Spoonflower (the U.S. and worldwide), and Stofflove (Germany).
Whether it’s children’s designs 
, plants and flowers, Christmas or Halloween designs, shapes, animal prints, funny animal designs, and whatever else there is—everything eventually finds its way into my fabric patterns.
While a few years ago I was still drawing most of my designs directly in my graphics program, I now start by sketching the motifs for my designs on paper with a black brush pen—a technique that has increasingly become my signature style.
Some of my designs are standalone patterns; others are part of a (mini) collection. Most of my designs can be licensed for further use.
In addition, some of my fabric designs are available as cut-and-sew panels for projects like play pillows, dolls, bags, and more.
For some of my collections, there’s a blog post about the inspiration behind the designs or the story of how they came to be.
Where are my designs sold on fabric?
Currently, my designs can be found in the following stores:
The German fabric manufacturer Lillestoff offers a wide selection of my latest designs on fabrics such as jersey, French terry (summer sweat), cotton, canvas, and scuba. The fabrics are produced fairly and sustainably, made-to-order.
At Spoonflower USA, a fabric and wallpaper manufacturer, my designs are printed on about thirty different types of fabric and seven types of wallpaper. Here, too, the designs are produced only after an order is placed. In addition, many designs can also be ordered as curtains, pillows, bedding, and table linens.
At Stofflove (DE), prints are also made to order on eight different fabric types, depending on your selection. One interesting feature is the option to customize the colors of the designs directly in the shop. In addition, you can have a solid-color fabric printed to match the background colors of your chosen design.
