Courtesy of Spoonflower, I will soon be the proud owner of two yards of fabric of my own design. I’m kind of giddy about it, actually.
I just got my invite to get a beta account last night, and I spent the evening tweaking one of my knotwork designs into a seamless pattern (which took some time figuring out, but is actually much easier than the amount of time it took me would make it seem).
A little more tweaking tonight, and some feedback from my darling bride, and I have now placed my first order (see swatch at right, it’ll tile for the full 42″ width and 2 yard length).
Now if only I knew what to make with it….
I’ve got ideas in my head for more large-scale designs, like for a full yard panel, but this design is a much more standard fabric pattern kind of thing. Maybe a purse, maybe a skirt, maybe a pillow. Knowing me, I’ll probably be paralyzed with indecision and never actually make anything. Except with this, I can always order more if I decide I need to make something different, can’t I?
Teehee!
I love this fabric! How did you find out about this? You have the most unusual and exciting creative pursuits. Can’t wait to see it in person!
Mom:
I can’t even remember where I found out about this site. I follow too many crafty blogs to keep them straight. It was probably posted in a couple different ones, too.
I probably won’t have the fabric by this weekend (they say it will probably be a couple of weeks from order to delivery, since they print everything custom), but I know you’ll get to see it sometime this summer. And any other designs I come up with (I have tons of ideas).
