Spoonflower Delivery!

Oh yeah, oh yeah!

I went for the organic cotton sateen instead of the linen/cotton canvas I tried last time, and it's miles better. The colour saturation is better than the linen/cotton, and a vast improvement over the quilting cotton I used to order. It looks and feels luxe, compared to the linen/cotton which made my image look cheap. The print is still way off square - why can't they fix that?

I still need to increase the white space around the image (ie make the image smaller) so it appears flat on the front of the cushion, rather than being distorted by the shape of the insert.


I've been dying to try this - a border of paisley on the sides to elongate the tram image and make it look a bit more handmade. What do you think?


Perhaps my favourite new feature - tags printed in the Spoonflower design's selvedge and trimmed with pinking shears.


Still need to experiment with the smoothest and quickest way of doing the reverse applique inserts. Not that you can tell they're anything less than perfect from this distance. ;-)

These are just the 'classic' prints - I haven't tried out the gorgeous patterned prints yet! I think I'll be spending some time in the sewing room after the kids go to bed tonight.
