I've known about Spoonflower for quite some time now.... every once in a while I carouse the site and see the cool fabric designs that others have created. About a week ago, I decided to join in on the fun!
If you haven't heard of it, Spoonflower is a company which allows you to upload your own designs and have them printed on fabric, wallpaper, decals or gift wrap. How cool is that?
I created my design in Photoshop using various doodles. I used an 18" x 22" canvas to create the image file, then once uploaded to their site I used a mirror repeat (they have several options and show you previews of how it will look).
You then have the option to purchase a sample swatch 8"x8", a fat quarter, or yardage. They recommend ordering a sample first to make sure you are happy with the results before purchasing more (the fabric is somewhat on the pricey side, so I would agree with this suggestion).
So, I ordered myself a fat quarter of my design. It came packaged all pretty....
And here it is unfolded....
I have to say, I had so much fun doing this! Now the biggest problem I have is WHAT WILL I MAKE?
I only have a fat quarter...so my options are limited.
Any suggestions?
Lovely! How about an envelope clutch with some fun trims?
ReplyDeleteI love it! Little cosmetic zippy pouches are always fun to make (and useful!)
ReplyDeleteWow what a lovely print.. You could just use it as a scarf?
