Robot Fabric Arrives!

Yards of colourful robot fabric have arrived, but was it everything that I hoped for? Yes it was.

My fabric arrived in my mailbox about three weeks from the time I placed the order, which is bang-on to the timeframe given by Spoonflower for International orders. Three weeks was a long wait, but Spoonflower is very open about how long orders will take on their web site, and it sounds like they are working towards reducing delivery times.

When I opened the postal envelope I found my fabric was neatly folded, wrapped in tissue paper, and sealed with a cute little Spoonflower sticker. I love little details like that, they really do make a difference. Wasting no time I ripped into the wrap, to retrieve my custom robot cotton. As I had mentioned in my previous post, at that time I wasn’t sure if the colours would shift with Spoonflower’s printing process, but I can say that I am happy with the results. The colours are bright, and clean, but if a colour match is critical for your project I recommend ordering a sample colour swatch from their web site before ordering your fabric.

Spoonflower is worth trying out for yourself if you have ever wanted to create your own custom fabric. The print quality is super, and it looks like they are working to expand the fabric selections available, having just recently added the option of organic cotton. Their web site is nicely designed, and I didn’t have any problems uploading my artwork, or placing my order. In the end, three yards of material came to about $88 Canadian with delivery, and for this project it was worth every penny.
