Textile design was always on the back burner of my imagination, but I needed the skills and courage to step forward into it. I'm now a graduate of Pattern Observer Textile Design Lab, so I understand what it takes for my files to be vector, raster, color separated and in repeat. With access to low minimums and the sublimation printing process, I found that I could showcase my textile designs on my own line of board shorts.
I’m most interested in swim wear for men. My signature look could best be described as coastal and tropical. Because of my valuable experience with border and
engineered panel prints while working as a fashion designer, I’m designing within this area of expertise. It doesn't hurt that I'm an experienced pattern maker and seamstress either.

These border print designs have been carefully created in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and are influenced by my life in South Florida. These are my own textile designs that you will not find anywhere else. I’ve personally drafted this men’s board short pattern with a lining and inside zipper pocket. In addition I have personally graded them to sizes 26 to 42. Each short was cut and sewn individually by myself.
This medium weight woven polyester microfiber suede finish fabric has been manufactured in Pennsylvania, USA. My original graphics were printed by sublimation by the supplier of my fabric. The soft poly/spandex tricot lining was manufactured in Canada.
The waistline elastic measures 2” wide. The functional drawstring in the waistband has been tacked to the center back so that it will not be coming loose in the wash. The lining has ¼” elastic in each leg. There is a 5” zippered pocket that measures 4 ½” deep, attached to the waistband and centered on the right side seam. There is no fly.
My husband was my fit model. We have washed and laundered his pair of shorts many times and are pleased to announce they pass our wash test expectations.
