- Hey everyone, welcome to my channel, I'm Mey, and welcome to the second video of the Spoonflower Print on Demand series- Testing SpoonFlower Fabrics & Wall Hanging.
This Spoonflower fabric review video is one I had so much fun making! Seeing the seamless patterns I've made using @Procreate come to life as @spoonflower fabrics has been truly awesome. And also- very educational, with lessons about Fabric design- for the purpose of using the fabrics.

I started this channel in January of 2021 to share my knowledge of selling digital downloads on Etsy, or any other platform, as well as my experience with Print on demand. I do my best to bring you the most relevant content about selling print on demand and printables, creating interesting print on demand designs, testing myself print on demand products and their quality, as well as provide you with marketing tutorials, and so much more! I recommend many services and websites in my videos, some may contain affiliate links- which means that you can have a discounted price, or the same price, while I earn a bit of a commission for the referral- to help support this channel and the costs of producing the videos.

For the pattern scale I would make both sizes of elements available.
Like, in Procreate I would make a large repeat pattern but then keep repeating it until the elements are very small inside the same size square.
This way you can make 2 listings from one design which doubles your catalog.
Some people like to make bedding, a duvet cover as example, with one side large print and other side with a matching small print.
You could also make a coordinating collection. So you make one side large elements with the eyes and hearts, and then make a coordinated pattern with same color palette but just keep one of the elements and make it very small. Then one pattern with same color palette but make a stripe or small chevron.
If you had 3 fabric patterns like this it increases the chance of someone buying this as a collection to make coordinating projects like a whole bedding set of sheets, shams and duvet cover that goes perfectly together without being too matchy.
Fat quarters are popular with quilters. When I was a kid my grandmother told me that if you want to measure a yard you hold the fabric edge between two fingers, turn your head the other way and then hold the other side up to the tip of your nose. It won't be exactly a yard, but it will be close for most women. I'm 5'4" and am off by a half inch when I do it. So pretty close. She also taught m e to measure an inch by bending my pointer finger and using the space between my first and second joint. Not as exact or sciency as metrics, but you never lose your measuring tools.
The cotton poplin is actually good for clothing items 😊. It’s very comfy and breathable when you wash it.
Hello Mey, I'm pretty new to Spoonflower myself, but maybe this will help:
I uploaded the same design in vertical and horizontal orientation 3 times each, on the fabrics panel you can adjust the sliders, and I adjusted them 1 time for a small patterned design, like 17%, one middle one 37% and one in large 55% or something. It shows beautifully. When you upload the same design in a different coloring, you can use the same tags and almost the same title. For example: Elegant Plaid Pattern - Blue and Yellow, and you name the second -> Elegant Plaid Pattern - Green and Red. After a while, you can see that when you check your design in the shop, they added the second design as a color variation.
Hope that helps! Big thanks as always for your big insight, Anett
Thanks for the coloring tip, I actually am testing it now, changed some titles and descriptions yesterday to see how long it will take.. even though I have seen several listings with that color option- that have different titles completely. (so, ha? LOL)
but it helps knowing it might take a few days , thanks
@@MeyTribe Good luck! My package with my fabrics will arive soon as well.
The pink pattern is gorgeous ! Does spoonflower allow to upload same design in maybe 2 different pattern tile sizes ?
Yes, they allow. And even without changing the digital file you can adjust the size of the tiles when you uploading them. You could upload the exact same file several times and use the editing tool to make it smaller. But if you want to make it bigger-you can’t 😀. So is better idea to upload large tiles and adjusting them for smaller ones with the slider or percentage box
Omg love all the fabrics and the colors!!
Thanks :) (me too... The colors are so spot on!)
They have excellent quality. When testing had to be done to approve a fabric, I found the recommendation of people who waited until they had 42 designs and used the yard with 42 quadrants to see a sample of each pattern. It is an excellent option to know how your design looks in a small space (it happens to me that my motifs are spectacular on products for the home but if I want to use them for clothes... they wouldn't look so good because they would be big) You would have 42 designs in 8x8 inch or 20.32x20.32 cm squares that you can use quadrants to decorate the wall with hanging scraps or make Quilt-type crafts.
Great video, Mey.I have a quick question..If I am opening a brand new POD apparel store on Etsy this month, should i focus on only 1 niche and 1 product type (t-shirts) OR Should I focus on multiple niche (10+) and multiple product types within the same category (like sweatshirts, hoodies, tank tops, t-shirts, hats)?
I think you could offer multiple sizing options for different projects. Have a larger scale as you’ve received, offer a smaller scale and could even offer a much smaller scale for things like miniatures. I think having motif measurements could be helpful too.
Would love to see a comparison of the Printful wall hanging and this one. The price difference is huge. Is it worth it?
Such a fun video! Fabric is an addiction! The stash just keeps growing and growing. Great tip about ordering to see size of pattern.l I wouldcarry both the size you have and also a smaller version of the designs. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
Thank you so much, Mey, for the very helpful fabric review. Thanks to your last video, I started looking into Spoonflower.
I was holding my breath as you opened the wall hanging because my concern was how/where they cut the final product out of the pattern.
I suspect you made a pattern specifically for the wall hanging, right? Would you make a different pattern for other products that have different ratios, such as napkins or pillows?
When I looked at the fill-a-yard option, the ratios are so different between options that I had to give up thinking about how to design for fill-a-yard options. Any thoughts?
Thank you again.
Once again you knocked it out of the park. Great videos. I cannot believe you created these in Procreate!! Cool.
Love the desugns. Made me smile to watch you show them.
Maybe make coordinating collections.
Thanks for this video.
Great information, beautiful fabric . I would offer both size elements catering to all customers needs. So tempted to join Spoonflower.
Fat quarters are more useful than a quarter yard because of the way they are cut. A standard quarter of a yard is a long strip basically so its not wide enough for certain things. A fat quarter is cut by taking a half yard and cutting it in half horizontally instead of vertically so its wider. Its still a quarter yard its just more of a square than an rectangle.
Also yards can be different sizes length wise, 36 inches is a yard but the fabric may be 48 inches long, 52 inches long or 60 inches long. So a fat quarter may be less than you would actually get in a yard if the yard of material is 60 inches long. Yes American math is fun. PS I would love if you have a photo print piece to show. I would love to see how photos print on their fabric. Also buying fabric is an addiction, trust me I know, so be careful that urge to buy more doesn't go away.
From which country are the orders for Europe shipped? Are there still manufacturers in Europe or elswere?
Mine came from the US.
@@MeyTribe There was once a manufacturer in Berlin. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to exist anymore,…sadly. The shipping costs from the USA were really expensive I thought
I had an offer with registering 30% discount but I did not dare to order anything yet: just checked it out a bit and seems a bit cool market place for personal preference. I would love to make my own bed sheets 😅. Maybe time to get my sewing machine out.
I sketch large naturally. The larger design is my favorite.
A fat quarter is a half a yard split down the folded side. Making it a quarter of a yard but the measurement is wider than a normal quarter of a yard off the bolt. That's why it's called a fat quarter because it's wider.
I have not yet opened my Spoonflower shop but I have already made some patterns in three sizes and just add S, M and L to the name so the customer understand that it comes in multiple sizes and they can choose which pattern size they want for their project.
Cotton poplin can be used for outer wear like jackets and coats.
Those would look cool for pijama satin ❤ the lips one looks crazy good!
GREAT IDEA!
OMG yes !!!! thank you for the idea !!
I love fabrics so much, It reminds me of when I was little, my mom, my grandma, and my aunt, .. used to sew, and there were trunks full of fabric, like real treasure chests! Regarding pattern sizes, as a user, I would love to have the option of two sizes for the patterns, or a version with very similar patterns in a smaller size, for smaller products, or also to make, for example, a duvet cover with one side having big patterns and the other side with matching small patterns! Or the fitted sheet with small patterns... And creating collections of matching patterns would allow for products made with multiple fabrics, whether it's quilting, a "one side big patterns / one side small patterns" design, or a lining, etc. This would really spark a lot of creativity and inspiration!
OMG, same here! I used to get scraps from our neighbor, who was the village’s amazing sewing lady, and I’d make the coolest Barbie clothes. The thrill of working with all those different patterns and materials was incredible! Some of my best memories for sure.
Love the Spoonflower series. Just ordered a new sample fabric box. Thinking about sewing 20 or more scarves at add to my collection (4) 😊
NOICE !!! Good luck
I am def gonna be doing so much more sewing this winter !
A yard is 36 inches… so a yard of fabric could be 36X42. Another way to visualize a fat quarter is that if you divided a yard into 4 quadrants… you would end up with 4 fat quarters that are 18x21. Spoonflower has a lot of fabric sizes, but the fat quarter is always a quadrant.
@@annaleeblysse 36 inches is not something I can visualize… (same way that I’m guessing most Americans can’t visualize 25 cm ) the only times in my life that I encounter inches - are on very few print on demand sites …
Hey Mey, you might want a duck canvas for a tote bag. It’s the strongest in my opinion. Can someone else give their two cents? BTW, the satin looks amazing!
I was searching the Canvas options, I can only see: recycled canvas, linen cotton canvas & Cypress canvas... (the Cypress one says it's fitting for bags, is that the one you meant? ) No duck...
And thanks, yeah the satins came out so shiny !!
Lol! Welcome to the world of compulsive fabric buying.
Happy to see I will not be alone in this new club LOL
During the pandemic I ordered fabric from Spoonflower for masks. I would make patterns associated with professions and then line them with a cheaper plain cotton I got elsewhere. That would be a great way to compensate for the cost of the Spoonflower fabrics, to line them with something less expensive.
That sounds so cool !!!
Hey! I will be sleeping (2am my time!). Will watcg with my morning coffee. Have fun everyone!
Have a restful sleep, and good morning (when you see this:))
One great thing about spoonflower, they allow you to scale your pattern. so you can actually do that in the app. So you can change the scale of your pattern and make multiple different ones and just save them as separate versions.
That satin is stunning- wow
Hi Mey, when you upload your pattern, is there any way to expand or reduce the size of the pattern; do they give you any products to view it on, so that you can see what size it will look like? Love the new video series! 🥰
Yup there is, it's all detailed on part 1 of the series :

Good afternoon
Blue Eye Blue? Were you listening to Linda Ronstadt?
No, I made a mistake and wrote "blue eye blue" instead of "evil eye blue" - fixed it now :)
A regular quarter of a yard is cut off a bolt of fabric, and is full width of fabric, but a quarter of a of the length of a yard. A yard is about 10% more than a meter) A fat quarter is 1/2 the width and 1/2 the length of a yard.🎉
Beat me to it! Also you can test and see the pattern better with a fat quarter, it is more like a block than a long strip.
Excellent video and thank you for all that you do!
My pleasure!
I thought I had seen your passion with jigsaw puzzles, but no. The happiness I felt from watching you with your material was wonderful. The joy and excitement. And I am so happy your wall hanging turned out right. Love Sal x
Thanks!
Thank you :)
I Love these patterns!!
Hey Mey, can you help me please? I want to open a pod decor on amazon to sell my digital art in canvas but I don’t know which platform to choose. Between quality and percentage of profit what is the best?
I'm not sure what to answer... I mean- Amazon is a platform.
Did you mean print on demand supplier?
There are loads of suppliers with home decor items, I don't know which ones integrate with Amazon- as I don't sell on Amazon.
But I have a full playlist of reviewing products and their quality, maybe you can check which of these items look in good quality to you- and then check their suppliers with Amazon?
