Fabric of Our Lives
Every time the design your own fabric challenge rolls around on Project Runway, it stirs the creative juices.
I waffle between thinking I’d plaster my name all over a lovely silk blend or go geometric on linen. The dream fizzles when I realize I am not on a reality show and I have no idea how to turn a pretty pattern into a tangible textile. Until now. Spoonflower.com is an online fabric design company that lets you upload your image, edit it, before it goes through a digital textile printer that spits out your custom fabric for as little as $16.20 per yard.
Now to decide whether to stitch together curtains or a cocktail dress, or design two patterns and make both. —Jaelyn Molyneux
