years ago. At that time, not only was printing a custom design
expensive (from $50 per yard for bulk orders up to $150 a yard
for smaller orders), but many surface designers didn’t have a
low-investment platform to distribute their art to shoppers. In
short, most of us were buying the designs that stores offered us,
because that was fast, affordable and easy.

Our founders, Stephen Fraser and Gart Davis, had already

helped launch the technological wave of print-on-demand, self-

Yellow VIBES
Do you think of the color yellow as energizing
and warm? You’re not alone. While the study of
color psychology is ever-evolving, there are many
reports that describe yellow as a hue that can
raise metabolisms and cheer moods. In Japan,
it’s even considered the color of courage. From
golden sunflowers to cheeky taxis, you’ll find
plenty of designs in the Marketplace to brighten

by heleen_vd_thillart, #D495
It seems like toddlers are always on the move. That’s why
they’ll love these soft leggings that will hug and stretch
during every tumble and climb.
Materials you’ll need: 1 yard of Organic Cotton Knit Ultra,
machine, measuring tape, fabric pen and free digital pattern
Project cost: Under $30
1. Wash your fabric according to the care instructions, and
iron on the reverse side. Fold each edge of the fabric in
parallel to the selvage to meet in the middle.
2. Trace the leg pattern piece along the left fold,
and cut out your fabric. Flip the pattern piece and repeat
3. Cut out two of the rectangle pattern pieces from the
O P
4. Unfold the leg pieces, and place together with right sides
facing. Note that the widest straight edge is the waistband.
Pin the long sides from the waist to where the fabric makes
a point, and sew with a zigzag stitch using a ½" seam
allowance.
5. Reshape the leggings so the seams you’ve just sewn are now
in the center instead of on the sides. Pin the legs together
around the inseam, and stitch together.
Q waistband over, wrong sides facing and zigzag stitch around
R the top.
   TIP: You can sew a vertical line attaching the elastic directly to
the unprinted side of the leggings to keep it in place.
7. Fold over about 1" of fabric around the elastic, and stitch.
Be careful not to catch the elastic as you go!
8. Fold each fabric rectangle in half to match the shortest
making two little tubes. Fold each one over on itself
lengthwise with wrong sides together, aligning the raw
edges. Put them over the bottom of each pant leg with the
right sides together, aligning all three raw edges.
9. Zigzag stitch around raw edges, turn right side out and press.

  TRENDING  |  Sustainability Sustainability  |  INSPIRE 
Spoonflower strives to ensure that our fabrics SOURCING THE BEST

it's in our nature

are good for you and good for the earth. From
our low-waste digital print process to organic
fabric options and paper certified by the Forest
A
Stewardship Council (FSC), we seek to provide
products made safely and sustainably.
The textile industry is rife with sustainability problems: from the
use of toxic inks and wasteful practices for materials and water,
to a race to utilize the cheapest materials such as vinyl—no
matter the environmental impact. Spoonflower has worked hard
to reverse this direction. We began with a holistic approach to
reduce the use of materials, energy and water by choosing a
pigment printing process instead of reactive dye; to minimize
fabric waste by only printing what is needed, plus recycling any
fabric waste by transforming it; and ethically sourcing materials
from a small group of trusted vendors.
REDUCING WASTE
Spoonflower’s print-on-demand process is designed to minimize
fabric and ink waste. Since you have the ability to print the
exact quantities you want, just the way you want them, there

are no surplus materials. Marketplace fabric that is returned to
the factory is donated (designers still earn their commissions!)

local artists and makers in the Spoonflower community. Fabric

that doesn’t meet our standards never makes it to the landfill, as
it is shredded for industrial applications like car upholstery and

KEEPING IT CLEAN
Spoonflower’s pigment printing process consumes very little
water to begin with, making it an eco-friendly solution in the
To meet increasing demands for natural textiles, we developed
three fabrics made from yarns that meet Global Organic Textile
Standards (GOTS): Organic Cotton Sateen Ultra, Organic
Cotton Knit Ultra, and Organic Sweet Pea Gauze™. To add to
the environmentally-friendly lineup, we offer an Eco Canvas
made with 45% recycled content and a Smooth wallpaper
made with up to 10% post-consumer waste. Our gift wrap is
chlorine-free and has been certified by the FSC as a paper made
with responsibly-sourced pulp. The factory that produces the
paper is carbon-neutral and manufactured in a facility that runs
on Green-e certified wind power energy credits. Our Smooth
wallpaper is not only removable, but recyclable as well: in fact,
Smooth wallpaper and Roostery's Isobar durable wallpaper
are both eligible for LEED credits. Unlike most peel-and-stick
wallpapers, our Woven wallpaper is completely free of vinyl.
CONTINUING TO GROW
Spoonflower invests in sustaining a healthy environment by
working to reduce our ecological impact in everything we do,
from recycling and composting in our office to printing packing
slips on recycled-content paper. We have two factories—one in
Durham, N.C. and one in Berlin, Germany—to reduce shipping
transit to consumers, thus cutting our carbon footprint. Our
office break rooms are full of handmade fabric dish towels,
tablecloths and napkins, and we stock our shelves with reusable
silverware and dishware.

How to Throw an Earth-Friendly Party

To set the stage for an eco gathering, we turned to our friends at Cherry Blossom Events, who
have an eye for throwing themed parties with a sustainable edge. Their team was inspired
by Spoonflower designs that evoked nature in all its finery—from ocean waves and bold Andrea & Sarah from
botanicals to playful tree prints.

CREATE A

Seamless 1
REPEAT
FROM A DRAWING

1. Create your drawing. The key is not to let any of your artwork
go off the page—keep it contained!

2. Cut your paper in half. Once you have your drawing how
7 8
you’d like it, cut your paper in half lengthwise using an
exacto knife or scissors.

3. Swap and tape. Switch the two pieces of paper without

rotating them and tape together on the reverse side.

4. Cut your paper in half again. Using the same process, cut your 2
paper down the middle widthwise.

5. Swap and tape. Switch these two pieces of paper without

rotating them and tape them together on the reverse side.

6. Brainstorm. You will now see that you have bisected your
art in both directions and there will be an empty area in the
middle of your drawing. You'll need to fill in the blank space.

7. Keep designing. Use your pen or pencil to add to your design

so there aren’t any gaps and the spacing of your artwork
feels consistent. You can continue to add design elements
throughout, just remember to stay off the edges.

8. Color your artwork. Use markers, pencils or crayons to

color in elements of your pattern if you’d like. Leave the
background white for best results. 3
That's it! Scan your artwork into your computer as a JPG at
150 DPI or higher, and upload the file to Spoonflower as a basic
repeat. You now have a seamless design that’s ready to turn into
fabric, wallpaper or gift wrap!

GREAT SEWING PROJECT FOR ANY LEVEL
With one yard of a stretchy fabric and the easiest pattern
around (your favorite tank top!), you’ll be on your way
to a fresh look this summer. This tutorial skips the more
advanced method of ‘sewing in the round’ on necklines in
favor of the easier method of sewing everything flat first.

*All seams should be sewn with ½" seam allowance.
F 1. Lay fabric wrong side up. Fold each selvage edge in to meet
in the middle so you have two usable folded edges. Fold
your tank in half, matching the folded edge of the tank to
one folded edge of fabric.
2. Trace around your tank with your fabric marker, leaving
enough room for a ½" seam allowance. Repeat this step on
the other folded edge of your Modern Jersey. Cut out the
front and back pieces.
3. Sew one shoulder seam together, then serge over the same
shoulder seam. Serge the adjacent armhole and the entire
raw edge of the neckline.
4. Fold the serged edge of the neckline toward the unprinted
side of the fabric, and then topstitch along the edge. Do the
same with the armhole.
5. You've now completed one side of the neck and armhole.
Sew and serge the second shoulder seam, then repeat the
process of serging, folding and topstitching to finish the
second armhole.
6. Pin one of the side seams in place, with the right sides of the
fabric together. Sew that side, and then use your serger to
finish the edges.
7. Now you'll finish the hem before you finish the second side
I
seam. Serge the bottom edge of your tank.
H 8. Fold the serged edge toward the wrong side of the fabric
about ½". Pin every few inches to keep in place and then
topstitch to hem.
9. Finally, sew and serge the second side seam. Enjoy your
new tank top!
