Spoonflower

I have really started to get interested in textiles again and was delighted to find out about Spoonflower.  They will  print fabric from a digital photograph, a scan of some artwork, or a design created in photoshop or illustrator.  It's not just for professionals.  Apparently anyone can design fabric.  If you don't have Photoshop, they have links to some free programs that can be used to create images.  You can opt to keep the images you upload private but there are lots of customer designed images that are for sale if you are looking for something different and don't feel like creating your own.  There are so many to chose from in the shop.  Here are just a few:

Grrr...arrrgh!


When I worked in a fabric store about 15 years ago it was almost impossible to find any fabric that was unusual.  It was even rare to find fabric to match the picture on a pattern envelope.  So I am particularly excited about Spoonflower!
