Admiring a repeat pattern

I bought this little vest top today from H&M for my little boy.  I love the farm and vegetables pattern.  It is really unusual.  I can't wait to see him wearing it.

Fabric sample

Spent some time this afternoon mixing up some colours and making a little fabric sample.  I like the top 3 in the sequence as the shapes and colours are almost Swedish in their design but I'm not so happy with the addition of the magenta or the larger flower, which looks rather simplistic and not in keeping with the design I had in mind.  Next attempt will be better! 

My take on 80's

I keep going back to this design even though I created it a few years ago. 

 It's one of those ideas that you never quite get the time to fully develop as something else takes priority.  

It was designed to be a black and white pattern but I saw the piece in my sketchbook last week and took pity on it.  I dabbled with some primary colours initially and then took it from there.  It's still not finished ;-)  

I think it's a pattern suitable for MC Hammer or on Bermuda shorts.

Textile Design

Textile design based on previous 'Urban' series work.  

The first design is a simple 180o repeat.  The second design uses colour to create a different mood within the piece.
