Over the past (almost!) 10 years, the Spoonflower community has grown into a family of designers, crafters and makers. You could consider Spoonflower a melting pot of talent where one artist’s strength in design supports another artist’s strength in making. We love seeing these collaborations grow and we’ve even gotten to know some of the small business owners on a personal level through the Meet the Maker series on the blog. If you’ve ever considered taking the steps to owning your own business, you won’t want to miss these words of wisdom our maker community is sharing today!

I love Spoonflower!!!
Today, once again , I wish I could purchase some fabric I love. That day is coming!!! I cannot wait for my first Spoonflower purchase.
Thank you for your great posts. I eagerly read everyone and dream.
Spoonflower is always a source for great ideas. Thanks for keeping that creative spirit alive in me.
Hi. I have recently ‘stumbled across’ Spoonflower, and I am mesmerised by the fabrics, designs, creative ideas and posts. I love the website.
I live in the UK, and whilst I acknowledge international posting is an option, does anyone reading this have any experience of such as ordering etc., because as far as I can see there is nothing similar here in the UK?
Hi Clare,
Great news! Spoonflower has another factory in Berlin, Germany which means orders shipped to the UK arrive faster and you can skip the customs lines! You can learn more about our Berlin office on the blog.
