Spoonflower.com - Print Custom Fabric On-demand

A new company whose services are geared towards crafters, Spoonflower will enable these individuals to have their designs printed onto fabric. These can then be readily used to make clothes, quilts and blankets, along with any other item connected with framed textile art.

The site highlights some of the most remarkable designs that have been put together so far, whereas a buzz page is the place to go if you want to get to know the members of this online community better, and lean about the uses they are putting this solution to first-hand. A “Fabric of the Week” link is also featured on the main page for further illustrative purposes.

The company has its seat in North Carolina, but worldwide shipping is taken into account. Registration to the site comes free of charge, and there is no minimum fabric order – you can procure just a swatch, a fat quarter or multiple yards. Moreover, there are no set up fees to be paid.

In finishing, this site is more than likely to accommodate the needs of all the many crafters out there – the ones who have just picked it up and joined in the handmade revolution, and those who have always had an active interest in it. If either definition applies to you, consider paying Spoonflower a visit.

“The Spoonflower community uses fabric to make quilts, clothes, pillows, dolls, blankets, handbags, framed textile art and many other things. When we're lucky, our customers post photos of the beautiful items they make in the Spoonflower photo gallery on Flickr. Interest in crafting happens to be exploding right now. For a variety of reasons more and more people are drawn to the idea of doing it themselves, of creating things that are unique and carry within them a little bit of the passion of the individuals who made them. We really liked the idea of expressing yourself through making new things. So we decided to make a company.”

Those who are part of the handmade industry are bound to appreciate such a service becoming available and being so instantly accessible.
