Stylish Fashion & Home Decor

Exploring the Journey of Creations By Julie Brayton

What will the new year bring in colors, style and fashion? Probably not too much will change honestly. I was doing some research on fashion trends and the “in” thing right now is animal prints among other things.  I remember when I was in my 20’s I had an interest in designing clothing styles and I wanted zebra fabric for one of my designs. I couldn’t find it anywhere. Now we see animal prints everywhere. Remember when animal prints were associated with floozies? Lol!

I named this Article “In Love With” well that would be designing. Lately I have been working very hard at Etsy as a platform to sell my designs. It’s not easy and the “experts” say different things on how to succeed. I think I found someone who I believe is spot on with how to work the paltform and I am seeing success. To My surprise I sold a Puffer Jacket I designed with one of my paintings as the pattern to someone in the UK. Pretty cool! I have been focusing on two shops at the moment. One with my art on prints etc but I separated any clothing and accessory items to a different shop that’s listed below.

I am having a lot of fun creating patterns and designs to put on bags and clothing.  The next obstacle I have had to overcome is finding clothing styles that come close to what looks fashionable. At this point I am not actually designing the clothing style. Too much at this point but I do have plans for that in the future.  In the meantime I focus mainly on fabric designs. The dress in the above photo is a fabric design I made. The dress is a classic style that lends to creative fabric designs. In that dress I played around with a zebra print. What do you think? I have more to come but in the meantime you can check out some of my new work in the link below.

Designs By Julie Art with women’s clothing and accessories.

I have seen 3 out of 4 of these items. They turn out great! The Lilac travel bag has a soft hard surface, if that makes sense. It’s lined and quite nice. I have other pattern designs.

The Kimono I liked the fabric very much. It’s a heavier cotton blend feel and I have other patterns to choose from as well.

The french cottage patterned bag is a wide mouthed soft construction light canvas feel great for over night or shopping.

I think they would make great gifts!
