It Is Official !!!
Today I finally got my Spoon Flower Swatches in the mail!!!
This is the fabric I designed (based off of an original embroidered 18th century garment) to make a jacket with the prize money I got from winning the Craft Stylish competition: http://izodiea.livejournal.com/27274.html
The Floral border will be placed at the hem of the jacket, with the rest being stripey goodness :)
Now that I have done tests I can officially open my spoon flower store: http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/izodiea
Right now I am only offering one fabric in two colorways (the best of the test swatches) but I have more swatches already coming in the mail. If those work out I will slowly expand to more styles/colors. For example, one of the swatches is of the above design, but done in such a way that when printed on voile it will look like faux white work embroidery.
This is the fabric I picked for making the jacket. It is an organic cotton sateen in the Dark Grey Colorway. I ordered 3 yards- so I would have plenty of border to play with, also to take full advantage of the prize money. Spoonflower charges ($27/yd) for the Sateen.
This swatch was not so successful. The color was supposed to be a nice forest green, but alas printed out almost exactly the same as the Dark Grey. I am going to find a moment some time to re-work this colorway. Printed on the Linen-Cotton Canvas ($27/yd).
Another unsuccessful colorway. This one was supposed to be a light greyish blue, and not nearly so dark. Again I'll have to find some time to re-work the colorway. Printed on Quilting weight cotton ($18/yd).
The Second successful colorway, Navy. I thought this one was nice because it made the flowers look more pink. Unfortunately the sheer fabric it is printed on makes it a little dull-looking. Cotton Voile ($24/yd).
This is the full range Spoonflower Offers:
Fabrics:
Quilting weight ($18/yd)
Organic Cotton Sateen ($27/yd)
Organic Cotton Knit ($27/yd)
Upholstery-weight twill ($32/yd)

(20% off 20 yards and over)
On a side note, Spoonflower briefly "forgot" that I had Won the contest (Even after I mailed them all the legal papers they requested I fill out) As an appology they gave me an extra $25 credit. Kinda weird...but better for me in the end I suppose, it covered all the swatches :)
