Custom Fabric from Spoonflower

Here’s an awesome find, which I read about over at Decor8. North Carolina company, Spoonflower has launched a site where you can upload a pattern or image of your choice and they will print it onto 100% cotton fabric and have it delivered within a week from ordering.

They’re currently Beta testing their operation. You’ll need to fill out a form to join their list. During beta, you can only order up to 5 yards. You can also request an 8×8″ sample swatch for $5 or a 21″x 18″ fat quarter for $11 before you commit. The fabric is $18 per yard - a fantastic price. Almost unbelievable.

As a designer, this sort of thing could really come in handy. I hope they’ll increase the yardage size in the future (which looks likely). Five yards isn’t enough to make much more than accessories.

You can follow their progress on their blog.

What is your opinion of this sort of service? Are you up for putting your creativity to the test?
