Spoonflower.com offers print on demand fabrics for quilters, doll makers, fabric designs, crafters and anyone else interested in design and printing out custom fabrics. The site caters to people who love to do-it-yourself. The company is taking advantage of a growing interest in crafting that’s exploding in the blogosphere.

I have to say, what a great concept! Can’t find the right fabric for the accent pillows you need for your couch? Design them yourselves! Save your children’s art forever by sewing it into quilts.

I turned one of my designs into a fabric tile to test it out their uploading and design interface. It was easy to use, and the site has many great design options. You can upload single images or tile your art into a repeatable design. I haven’t ordered the fabric yet to test the print quality, but I definitely have some design ideas in mind for my son’s room. Additionally, the site offers a weekly “fabric-of-the-week” contest. Spoonflower members vote on their favorite design, and the winner’s swatch will be sold for one week through Spoonflower’s Etsy store. I’m off to submit my design in the contest right now. Wish me luck!

Just wanted to say congrats to our mom jgoode who has been featured in both a print article and a podcast this week.

In the Yahoo Finance article, 7 Ways to Make Extra Money, Jen talks a little bit about how she sells her designs on print-on-demand company, CafePress.com.

And today she’s the featured guest on Andrew Wee’s Friday Podcast: Print-On-Demand Business Strategies With JGoode.

In the podcast, Jen talks about how she got started on the internet, how to get started in POD businesses, how to generate traffic to your stores and more.

If you are at all interested in selling your work online, you should go check both the article and the podcast. In fact, I’m off to give the podcast a listen right now!

Congratulations, Jen!
