Motivation Mondays - Design Your Own Custom Fabric

Monday, November 3, 2008

If you are like me, you get a certain thrill out of browsing through fabric shops, gathering up all the pretty fabrics you want to purchase. In fact, you probably have more fabric than you can keep up with! And, if you are even more like me, you secretly desire trying your hand at designing your own fabric to make some of your lovely creations from. Well here is your chance...

Tonight, while doing my nightly web-reading before bed, I came across this site: Spoonflower.



What is Spoonflower?
Well here's what their website says:

Love fabric?
Print something unique

  • Spoonflower lets you print fabric from designs you upload to your own account on our web site.
  • All your designs are private unless you choose to make them public. We will never sell, print, or share your designs without your permission.
  • There is no minimum fabric order and no set-up fee. You can order a swatch for $5, a fat quarter for $11, or multiple yards at $18 each. Registration is free.
  • At the moment, fabric choice is limited to 4.3 oz. 100% Kona™ cotton.
  • We are based in Mebane, North Carolina, but ship all over the world.
  • We are happy to have you here.

I personally am amazed by this site and the possibilities it opens up! I hope you will explore the site and what it has to offer and I hope it motivates you to perhaps try something new! Please let me know if you try out this site, and how it works out for you!

How interesting .... I used a great deal of fabric, but the idea of designing just for yourself is very exciting; thank you so much for sharing.
