New Item In Shop | Karlfield Linen Swatch

My entrepreneurial spirit is rubbing off on my son. He showed me this picture of a flower he drew and said "Hey, Mom? Can you make a fabric out of this? And if it sells, can I have the money?"

Well, heck yeah!
Best. Collaboration. Ever.

Get it here!
Karl gets 100% of the profit for his contribution to this print. Half will go into his savings, and half into his spending.

Rock on, Little K! Love it!!!! A few months ago, Jack asked something similar - and I was all, "well, we'll blockprint t-shirts, blah, blah, blah..." duh!!!!!!!! I just showed this to him, and the gears are turning.......... (he was happy to see the recipient of those pokemon cards, too!).

Brilliant! How wonderful that he's taken an interest, and what a creative spirit he has! You can tell by his rockin' 'do that he's got an artist's heart!

Colleen MacDonald said...

This is really fabulous! I can't wait to see what you two come up with next; maybe you should put him on staff!

How sweet is that?!?!?! I like the design too - I was bummed when I went to the shop and saw it was all sold out!

Rebecca said...

I love his fabric design! I may have to do my part to contribute to his saving/spending! I love this Sew Mama Sew giveaway- I am finding all sorts of new cool fabrics!

Victoria said...

How cool is this!?! I LOVE it! It has a great retro/modern feel and is so happy and joyful! I think you two should do more collaborations. I also like how you split his earnings into spending and savings, I always did this with my girls and when my oldest grew up, she so appreciated having that money, and she is very good at saving for herself now... time will tell with my younger one! hat's off to you and Karl!

Deb said...
