We're always a bit sad to see any of our fabrics retire, but as of September 12, 2014, we are officially removing Cotton Voile from the Spoonflower fabric lineup. If you use our voile regularly, you will continue to have access to the fabric while supplies last. Thanks!

Spoonflower partner Allison made quick work of transforming her living room built in bookshelves with the new Peel and Stick Wallpaper. Read about her project and get tips working with the new woven wallpaper for your own DIYs!
Allison: Transforming my living space is such a rush for me. I love the creative expression that it provides, so I am always on the hunt for my next project. After reading the July 2013 issue of Dwell that featured Orla Kiely’s home, I felt inspired to add a little more pattern and texture to my living room. I wanted to find a way to bring pattern to my wood surfaces that did not require water or paste and was eco-friendly. With the launch of Spoonflower’s Peel and Stick Woven wallpaper, I finally found my vehicle.

Silky Faille to the Rescue!
Recently I became a volunteer at my local animal shelter—Orange County Animal Services. It’s a wonderful facility that is clean and modern, but it’s still a shelter: there are a lot of dogs there that need a loving home (and will convince you with kisses how sweet they are!).
In the past I’ve made several bandanas for my dog, Albatross, to wear (in order to raise her cuteness rating!), and I realized a sweet bandana might be just the thing to help some of the shelter dogs get adopted.
Adopted from a shelter herself, Albatross models the first bandana to help me with sizing
Because I wanted to use a fabric that would be both eye-catching with bright colors and wash and wear well, printing on Silky Faille was the perfect choice. For subtle branding, I took the colors from the Orange County, NC seal and created a design that would look great on any dog, no matter if they were white, tan or black.
Using Illustrator, I created a single image and exported it as a PNG. Once I uploaded my design, I chose the "half-drop" repeat to get some variation in the pattern.
To stitch up the bandanas, I used a fantastic tutorial from the blog Gleeful Things. I love Julie’s post because it was very easy and I could adjust the size for all different dogs—from chihuahuas to great danes! One quick tip if you choose to use this tutorial: topstitch another seam to create a tube for the collar, so it stays put on energetic canines!
Princess loved dressing up for our field trip!
The dogs are loving their bandanas—they make them look like little superheroes! They have been wearing them both at the shelter and on outreach field trips, like the one we took this Saturday to Woofgang Bakery in Chapel Hill.

They looked super cute and dressed up with their neckerchiefs and when we walked by a group of people, everyone immediately knew they were available to be adopted and would stop and chat with us.
Volunteers Lisa and Jim take a stroll with Teddy and Diesel.
To further assist the dogs in finding their forever homes, all proceeds from the sale of this design will go directly to sponsoring dog adoptions at OCAS.
Franklin was very happy to be out and about!
Making these bandanas is a very simple way for both shelters and rescue groups to make a big impact and give their pups some pizzaz with a subtle message! Why not get together with a group of friends and whip these up this weekend?
