1. I use a method I call 5 Colour Method (5CM). - Bold - Complementary - Neutral - Light - Dark 2. I choose the colours from a Colour Type (in your Fabric Formula - Level 5. This is normally $80 DIY). This way I know they will go together. 3. I then use a Colour Scheme to make sure I have balance. For example this 5 colour combination is: Colour Type: Autumn Colour Scheme: Split Complimentary I will be sharing a bit more about this during our 10 day Moodboard Scavenger Hunt this month 11-20th May. I have also included an example of cushions that use this colour combination.

This was taken some time ago when we looked after this kitten for a little while. The desk hasn’t changed.

Next month we are going to have a "Moodboard Treasure Hunt" We are going to create a balanced, interesting and cohesive moodboard for a project of your choice. There are 10 elements to the moodboard and we will be scavenging each one over 10 days. At the end you will have a board and a process you can reference every time you start a new creative project. More on this later.

Each suit a different Colour Type. Can you guess which one is? - Neutral - Summer - Autumn - - Last weekend I did a floral watercolour. Today I turned it into a repeat to go on fabric. These are some colour combinations from the Fabric Formula. (yours to do when you get to level 5)

I live in Queensland, Australia, and I design sewing patterns and fabric that help people create garments men love to wear — because meaningful gifts become lasting bonds. (No links please.) #2 — My intention here: To guide you through a simple creative rhythm — Saturate → Percolate → Create → Celebrate → Rejuvenate so you can make pocket squares you are proud of and make him smile. What I hope you walk away with is a stronger bond with the men you’re making for, a renewed sense of creative intelligence, and a pocket square you can’t wait to gift. #3 — Who do I have in mind for my next pocket square? I don’t know, but I will know when I see it. #4 — Fun GIF Hobby: My husband loves golf and will endure almost any conditions to play. So here is my GIF - my favourite colour is pink and I love a good Argyle pattern design (which he has on his vest).
