Introducing the World’s Cutest One-Yard Tees

December 6, 2012

The One-Yard Wonders books from Storey Publishing
are full of creative and stylish projects that require only a single
yard of fabric. For this contest we teamed up with the authors of the
series to take their Riviera Tee sewing pattern and to invite
Spoonflower designers to customize the pattern using their own artwork
and an Under-the-Sea theme. The result is a set of easy-to-sew shirt
patterns that, ordered on our organic cotton interlock knit, pack an
ocean's worth of cuteness into a single yard of fabric. Special
congratulations to this week's winner, "Motion In the Ocean" by Bethany
Berndt Shackelford!

One-Yard Wonders From Under the Sea

November 30, 2012

We're big fans of the One-Yard Wonders books from Storey publishing,
which offer readers an array of projects that require just a single
yard of fabric. For this contest one of the authors, Rebecca Yaker,
offered a pattern for the Riviera Tee, a kid's shirt. Spoonflower
designers were invited to customize the pattern using their own designs
and an Under-the-Sea theme. The result is a gallery of shirt patterns
that would be a blast to sew. The winner will be featured in the next
book in the series. Vote for your favorites and we'll report back next
week!
