I stumbled upon spoonflower recently. Where have I been!? They print custom fabric for you with your own designs. You just need to upload a jpg of your work and voila! I'm sending in two test pieces today. If all goes well, I will get each one back, on fabric, in an 8" x 8" square, in less than a couple of weeks. Then I can have it printed in a repeat on ... well ... meters! How exciting. There are endless possibilities.
So here's my first crack at fabric design.
Robot Garden [8" x 8"design for test swatch]
I worked carefully to make sure it will work in a repeat as well ...
This one may make a nice set of hankies for a wee guy I know ...
But it should also work as a repeat too.
UPDATE: Available at my etsy shop, just click on the etsy buttons on the sidebar.
Now if only I could sew ... I think Nana's going to get a call soon ...

If you can design fabric like that....well sewing will be a walk in the park!

Julie, thank for the encouraging words. And congratulations on your baby boy announcement. Very exciting!
I've been looking into selling it on etsy. Which will require me to set up an account etc. Not sure how long it will take me.
In the meantime, if you are serious about having some, drop me note and I'm sure we could work something out.
