Today I have the honor of introducing my good friend Alida of Alida Makes.
Alida is an incredibly talented designer, wife, and mother to 4 amazing children! Yeah – she pretty much has got it going on.
With children the perfect age for K.I.D.S., I knew it would be so much fun to have her on board for this fun Series! So without further ado, let’s see what this amazing Mama and her kiddos designed together…
You can scan the photo, or take a digital picture of it. I took this photo on a train with my cell phone so it’s not the best quality, but that’s ok, we’ll fix it.
Open in photoshop (or other photo-editing tool).
aaaa
Use the paint bucket tool to color in the back ground. Make sure (if there is a prompt) that you select “only web colors”. Use paint bucket tool to color in remaining portion of the artwork. Also select “only web colors.” If you can’t get to part of the drawing with the paint bucket use the paint brush. When you’re done it should look something like this:
Glad I am not the only one addicted to Spoonflower! Lol – that Cheetah fabric is so cute, and I love that your daughter created it Alida. So much fun! She is going to wear that coat every day, you will need to pry it off of her come Springtime! Aww – love it. Thanks so much for being a part of the Series!
Be sure to hop on over to Alida Makes to see some of the incredible creations this Momma comes up with…
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…
Happy Sewing!

I love both of these prints. Spoonflower is such a great tool. Awesome job Alida!
So awesome Alida! Love it! I really need to try Spoonflower out!
Love!
I can’t wait to turn my kid’s drawing/designs into wearable art when they are old enough! So fun!
Genius! Love the cheetah pants too!
That is absolutely fantastic, Alida!! The ultimate compliment to your childrens’ illustrations! Thanks for the great idea!
Wonderful! Clearly, Charlotte has been bitten by the designer bug.
