Hello Everyone, as I am sure many of you have figured out by now, I am absolutely in love with textiles and pattern. My passion for textiles quickly emerged when I was in school for interior design. I love designing spaces and really love all aspects of the design process, but cannot lie, my favorite part is sitting in a room (or pile) of fabrics and selecting textiles and pattern for a project that will really make it come alive.
It has been this passion for textile and patterns that led me to really start exploring how patterns are made, learning how repeats are created, and really beginning to play around with pattern design myself. I have designed patterns for custom textiles, wall-coverings, and rugs that are project specific and played around with designs for my own personal projects. I have a few patterns available for sale in my Spoonflower shop here.
Spoonflower is a fantastic site that allows anyone to create and print their own textiles, wallpaper, and gift wrap. Not to worry if you don’t know the first place to start with pattern design, you can also shop their marketplace and buy anything you like from other designers that have put their work up for sale. I love Spoonflower. We love it this month because everything is printed right here in the U.S.A. in Durham, North Carolina. In addition to being made in the U.S.A. they also use eco-friendly printing processes which you can read more in detail about here. Want to know more? Here is a quick video that explains what Spoonflower is:
