PATTERN SHOWCASE: FIREWORKS

The moment I designed ROSIE, I knew it was time to reimagine one of our long time classic patterns, Fresh Laundry. It had been around for so long as a Fig Tree basic, that I almost overlooked it this time around! Originally created in soft subdued tones, as soon as it caught my eye, it practically yelled FIREWORKS at me and so a new updated rendition was born.

This is the third edition of this pattern as it has always been one of our customer favorites and that…
