Spoonflower Fabric Designs
A few days ago I got my swatches from Spoonflower for some designs I wanted to make available to sale. I am quite pleased, apart from one not featured here (colours not right ) they have turned out quite well. Now, these illustrations were not originallyy created as textile designs, I just uploaded them as I wanted to see how they would look. But, I will be working on some designs soon specifically for fabric. Luke’s favourite is the top left design ‘Sea Inspired II’, he states he wants a shirt made from this fabric. So, here they are.

Trailing Flowers Fabric Swatch
Sea Inspired III Fabric Swatch
Update: My shop on Spoonflower is now closed. If you are interested in using any of my designs for print and textile, please get in touch.
If you are interested in purchasing any original pieces, postcards and prints then please visit my ART SHOP.
Love those colours !!!
Are you pleased with the quality of the fabric as well as the print ??

Hi Nicola..
The fabric quality is fine, it’s quite thin, and would be suitable definitely for quilting and some projects, though not sure I would use it for dresses or blouses. I would probably go for the cotton linen/canvas. Here is a link to a description of the fabrics and their suitability. http://www.spoonflower.com/spoonflower_fabrics

They look marvelous Lorrie! I always wanted to try out Spoonflower but haven’t yet. someday soon.
Hi there Jessica..
I have some more on order, the leaves. I am not sure these designs are entirely suitable for fabric products, though I intend to create some custom designs when I have Illustrator set up using my Wacom on my Imac.
You really should join Spoonflower Jess, your design style would work really well.

They look great!!
There is another print place too. I will remember them in a minute!
Your work is perfect for textiles.
Ooooh, Alex. If you could remember that would be really cool. What would be even better, would for it to be Europe or UK based,
Anyway, thanks for the nice feedback peaches. x
I think it is these people
http://www.thefabricpress.com/
but the website is down at the moment. She is on twitter though.
Now I have revisited that site, I am not sure it is the ones I am thinking of. I cannot find the link nor remember the name.
Just seen this place – they look interesting. But maybe too expensive

Cheers for that Alex…
They both look quite good and I shall be having a good read to decide which is best. I definitely am going to order some fabric from one of them. A lot cheaper than getting from the US.
Your art lends itself really well to fabric, these are great. Do post some photos if Luke gets a shirt made, that would be fab! I can see the sea-inspired fabric as a blind in a really funky bathroom! x
Thank you Angie…
Luke may be a waiting a logn time for that shirt. It’s been a long time since I made a mans shirt, which surprisingly is very hard. But, now I have my new HUGE desk, I may get that sewing machine out! 😉
