I have been dabbling in Textile Design and Fashion Design,a> here are some of the things I have been trying.
I started with a watercolor painting that I did on our trip to Bali this past summer of a Protea or Sugarbush Flower. Here is a photo of the painting. Then I scanned in the artwork and created a design with text to be repeated as the fabric design. Also shown below is a photo of the design printed as fabric. These designs are for sale on Spoonflower: I have quite a few more designs in the works, I just haven’t made time to get to them up online yet. If you haven’t been over to Spoonflower, click on over there and give it a looksy. My brain goes into hyperdrive with all the possibilities I start thinking about.

Below is an example of a tunic design I have been working on. I designed the fabric and the sewing pattern, then had the items printed on fabric using the spoonflower site. This was just a trial, a work in progress. Since I created the sewing pattern as well, I did have a couple kinks I had to work through. Which I have now. Now I just need to print the final design again and sew it together.
Here is a photo of the work in progress on me. Once I get this design finalized and complete I will post another update.
Here is a video that explains the repeat design process.
