Ty Pennington - A Fabric Designer

Have you heard?? Ty Pennington is designing fabric!!

"Unlike many celebrities who simply rubber stamp their names onto product line endorsements, Ty actually had hands-on involvement with the collections. He used photographs from his travels, made wood-block stamps of the patterns, then actually stamped them onto cloth in his own backyard to see how they looked with repeats, overlaps, etc.

Being a talented graphic designer — and a hands-on sewer — he then went back to the computer to figure out the fabric designs, repeats, etc. The results are fabulous and knowing that he did it all himself makes them even better!"
