Aside from using it to perfectly match digital RGB hex codes to the printed color of a certain fabric type, did you know that our color maps also make for some pretty amazing sewing projects? Employees of Spoonflower know this better than anyone, as many of us have used our color maps to create everything from pillows to headbands and even guitar straps! Check out a few of our favorite projects below, and pick up a color map of your very own here. The color maps just got a new look with even bigger hex squares, so even if you already have a few laying around at home it may be time to upgrade or try one in a different fabric. Here are a few projects for all of you ultimate color nerds like us out there!

I love the Guitar strap and leggings! I’ve got a few outdated colour maps sitting around so I’ll probably turn them into cushions for my very white couch…or make a cover for my indoor bunny house! 😀
Great ideas, Lauren! We’d love to see photos of your finished projects, especially that indoor bunny house!
