Let’s talk fabric! #FabricStash #Spoonflower

 

Today’s video shows me making (designing) one of my Spoonflower fabrics in the early stages. The focus of the video is on how I create a digital paint palette in Canva.

And by the way, another one of my fabrics (see the image below) has been entered in the Spoonflower design contest. If you get a chance to, please go vote for “Candy Canes and Choo Choo Trains” in the “Merry Maximalist” design contest.

I was really happy with how this particular fabric turned out, even though it doesn’t use traditional Christmas colors (which I chose on purpose, as you’ll hear about in the video). But I think you’ll be especially excited to learn that there’s a small print version of the fabric in my store on Spoonflower too! So you we can make doll clothes with it! YAY!

I have a question for you though…

What type of fabric do you WISH you could buy for making doll clothes, but you can’t seem to find it anywhere? I’d love some ideas about the kind of fabric you’d like to see me design. Feel free to leave your thoughts about this in the comments.

A variety of remnant rolls of fabric are rubber banded and piled up in a bin. They have various small and medium prints, including polka dots, zigzags, floral prints, paisleys, plaids, and many other shapes (stars, owls, sharks), in a variety of bright colors.

For example, do you wish there was more doll-sized pink paisley fabric? Have you been hunting for a black pinstripe for making Ken a zoot suit? Can you think of a fabric that appears in a movie, and perhaps you’d like to be able to find that fabric design in 1:6 scale?

Please type your fabric design requests in the comments! Thanks!
