What program are you using to make the repetitive motifs especially the ones that alternate? I really would like to do this!

I used MS Publisher and it's TEDIOUS. I found an image, did text wrap to delete out all the excess white space, sized it to taste, and copied and pasted, and copied and pasted. To reverse the print you just flip horizontal. In most of these cases I took a logo or symbol off the sorority web page and played around with it. Thankfully they don't protect all of their images so they can be borrowed relatively easily. Then I saved it as a .pub file and then saved it again as a .jpg so that it could be uploaded. Then I shrunk it down so I could paste it on here. Yes, I had some time on my hands today!
I think you can do just one image and the spoonflower website will replicate it, but I haven't played around with the site much.

Dubaisis, any chance you'd want to make a Sigma print? Purple, pearls, and a sailboat? I don't like most skull and cross bone designs, unless it can somehow be made cute. You're amazing at these, by the way.

Now those of you who asked for designs - be sure to order some fabric. I am as soon as I get my first paycheck!

Music. I'm terrible at all things musical (can't read music, can't play any instruments, can't sing, can't keep rhythm, etc.). 
Seriously though, thanks for the compliments...I'm a stay-at-home mom who does graphic design stuff in my spare time...keeps me intellectually and aesthetically stimulated.
Sigma will be the first one I tackle tomorrow (it's 10 PM here and I'm off to bed...the 10 month old and 2.5 year old are both waking up early these days!).

I agree, the DG designs are fantastic! Let me know if you ever actually have these put onto fabric, WhiteDaisy. I have a friend who's a Delta Gamma who would LOVE these!

Could you do the anchor print and the argyle crest print for AST? I would love you for forever and a day

Now I'm going to have to up my game! Those are fantastic. And I am going to order the samples so that people can buy them. Unfortunately that's the trick before you can put them for sale. And I'm going to be stealing your crest piece. I think that will look fabu with a crest design on a blue and gold background and little tiny quills.
Are you worrying about the repeat?

Yeah, the ordering samples before people can buy kinda sucks...but it's smart on their part.
I am being mindful of the repeat for the most part. I had trouble with it for Attempt #2...but the others should be clean repeats. I'm still learning. As far as I can get it now, I make a design I like, then crop it down to where there will be a clean repeat.
