Ever since I opened up my own online shop (Bacon Bits Boutique), I’ve wanted to cash in on make use of the coincidence of my last name and the surge in popularity of everybody’s favorite breakfast meat… but I just couldn’t find the right high-res photos of bacon to use.
So, FINALLY I cooked up a batch of bacon and took my own photos… I thought I was going to have to lay the bacon right on the scanner to get decent shots, but luckily I didn’t have to resort to that!
It took me a while (read: all day long) to figure out how to make the pattern repeat without any obvious joins at the edges… but I finally did it! I’ve seen lots (and lots and lots…) of Bacon design fabric (etc.) but none of them repeats in the way my pattern does!

I just posted this fabric pattern to Spoonflower, so it isn’t available quite yet.
[UPDATE 2/23/2012: The BACON! Collection is now available for purchase at Spoonflower.com!]
But what would you do with yards of bacon? I invision somebody making a whole suit out of it (like in David Byrne’s True Stories)… it’s like Bacon Camouflage! Bacon sheets or curtains would be nice too.
Look for a whole slew of new BACON! products with this design over at the Bacon Bits Boutique, too… I’ll feature those in my next post here.
