Make your own Fabric

One of my ebffs Kacey just emailed me about Spoonflower. She had posted about it on her blog and knew that I would LOVE it!! Dang my ebffs know me well! What is Spoonflower you ask? Oh, only the coolest site in all the land if you want custom fabric.

By custom I DO NOT mean you give them an idea and they design something for you. I mean you give them a design and they print it out on a bolt of fabric for you! Or just a yard!

They have a blog too! And you can check out some of the fabric they have made there, or on their site. Like these:

The pattern on the right makes me want to take some of Lou La's art and have it made into fabric so that I could make her a pillow, or just stretch it over a canvas and hang it is her room.

It is a little pricey. $18 a yard, but I think it can be used to make some pretty great gifts. And I can think of a ton of things that wouldn't require more than a yard of fabric.

Like one of these:

I saw last night, on the Fantastic Toys blog, that the owner had printed DOLL pattern onto spoonflower fabric! Then all he had to do was but it out and stuff it - the clothes and face were already pre-printed on!!! Think of the possibilities...potholders, plushie books...so, so cool.

This is the coolest thing! How many times have I searched and searched for the right fabric and now I can just design it. Awesome. Thanks.

LOL! This post cracks me up because I can hear the excitment all the way through just like mine. LOL If I could have typed my entire post about Spoonflower in CAPS I would have. But, that may have been a little obnoxious. Just a touch. So glad you liked the site! {{HUGS}}

Lorie, At Target they had a few printed metal tubs that reminded me of that one.
