Having fun mixing and matching patterns on my capris and ankle leggings!

Capri leggings are available HERE

I will admit to being a lover of the busy when it comes to mix and match patterns and just lately I have been having great fun mixing and matching textile patterns I have created for my Spoonflower online shop on my spandex capri and ankle leggings.

My leggings are designed by yours truly in Maine and then made to order in Canada. The spandex is technically called PolySpandex and is 88% polyester and 12% spandex - it is beautifully smooth with a semi shiny lustre and wonderful feel, and the colour saturated printing will not fade even with multiple washings.  The fabric is made with EcoPoly - a production process that uses significantly less water than other polyester production processes.

All the patterns you see featured here were originally hand painted by me in watercolour on paper before being scanned formatted for their online applications.

Ankle leggings are available as a variation HERE

A very old-fashioned and traditional steamed pudding.

Apple and Oatmeal Cake

Two layers of buttery oatmeal with stewed apples and raisins between - one of my most pinned recipes

Potato and Apple Cake

My most unusual Irish recipe - much more like a pie than a cake - and how can you go wrong with potatoes in a pudding?
