Today I had a conversation with a nine-year-old girl I know. This girl is smart. Really smart. She also wears really cute, interesting dresses on a fairly regular basis.
I’d like to offer up this conversation with her as an affirmation of why Eva and I are spending so much time, energy, and money trying to figure out how to print our own patterns (designed by the fabulous Elishka Jepson) instead of going what would have been the much easier route of purchasing fabric from a company’s pre-existing library of patterned fabrics.
Cute, fun, colorful - dare we say, girly - fabrics with pi or dinosaurs or pirates or airplanes on them don’t exist right now. But they will - because we’re making them. And it’s worth it.

I’m an illustrator, surface designer and educator based in Atlanta, GA. I live with my boyfriend and our three rescue kitties, who very often make it into my art, especially the two black cats.
I feel very comfortable creating art for kids, because I'm really a kid at heart. I love cute animals and bright colors. I find it particularly satisfying to distill complex concepts into simple shapes that are stylized but easily recognizable.
Sienna Farr was one of Princess Awesome's first models, before our Kickstarter, before we were much more than a dream and a few dresses made of tee shirts and quilting material. She died in a fire that also seriously injured her mother on August 11, 2023, aged 13.
Princess Awesome is so proud to partner with Women in Aviation International to sponsor a design contest during the summer of 2023. We are looking for your awesome ideas for new clothing that features airplanes, helicopters, engineering concepts, schematics - anything that has to do with aviation.
