Design your own Fabric

Recently, I came across Spoonflower a company that specializes in custom printing onto fabric. Sent away for a swatch booklet for $1.00. While perusing through there catalog, I was impressed with the variety of fabric choices and pricing per yard. Decided to give them a try. I uploaded one of my original designs and requested a sample to be printed.
Wow! What an impressive sample it was. The detail was beyond my expectations!

I highly recommend this site.

About Spoonflower's Digital Textile Printing:
Digital textile printers are large-format ink jet printers specially modified to run fabric. Unlike conventional textile manufacturing, digital printing entails very little waste of fabric, ink, water or electricity. Spoonflower prints using eco-friendly, water-based pigment inks on natural fiber textiles. No additional chemicals are used in the printing or preparation process. Digital textile printing has the added advantages of showing greater design detail than screen printing, as well as allowing designers the ability to use as many colors as they like in their designs. All Spoonflower fabric gets printed in Durham, North Carolina, by a merry band of fabric lovers.
