Again with the illustrations!

I'm still trying to decide on a color scheme for the illustrations! I think I've narrowed it down to these three variations, but I'm tired of thinking about it. What do you think? I hate when I get hung up on the little details because it keeps me from getting the real work done. But then, the details are the fun part aren't they? I think this one is my favorite.
I really like this one too, but I'm afraid that the details will get lost in all of the colors....I really like the colors though.
Then there is this one, and now that I'm showing you I'm wondering what I liked about this one in the first place... Can you see how bad I need you? Which one do you like best?

Edited to add:

How do you like this? It's brighter but you can still see the details well. I think it's probably my favorite so far. Better?

I like the first one the best, but I also like the brightness of the second one. I could use your help me pick out fabric for some dolls I am making.

I think the second one has the most contrast and stands out nicely. It's easy on the eyes to see.

I like the colors in the second one best, but agree the details may get lost.
So the first one is, imo, the best bet for the job.

I like the first one, but I think I like the 3rd one best. Sorry to be different.

I just love all your patterns, your dresses are so beautiful and I hope to in the near future purchase many of your patterns to make some of these for my 4 girls.

Yep - I like your updated one best (the brighter/darker pink with polka-dot sash).
Lise said…
I like the updated one better, for its brightness, but liked the simplicity of the first (without the black stitch lines).

I vote for the last one. Easy to see the contrasting fabric and your markings.

I like the third one.

First one

I definitely like the first one best. It's easy to see the detail, and the colors aren't distracting like the second one.

I think the second one would print out best in black and white. Maybe not the best reason but I don't have a color printer and sometimes it can be very hard to see the details in a pdf if colors are too similar.
The second one of your original one has the best contrast but the edited one is very appealing and has enough contrast. Does that help?

I vote for the last one, but with summer coming, I am so ready for bright colors!
Christine said…
I like the last one best.

The 2nd is my first choice and the last one is my 2nd choice!

The first one speaks to me.
Renata said…
My inital thought was the first, but after looking again I'll put my vote in for the third.

The middle one looks like something I would actually make but the third one looks find, too.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
