Meet the Maker: Rosanna Bernstein of Bee Brave Buddies
Our latest featured maker, Rosanna Bernstein, was inspired by her own journey through cancer to design and give away dolls for children undergoing treatment themselves. Her Etsy store, featuring Spoonflower-designed blankets, children’s clothing and dolls fuels her generous outreach: All Bee Brave Buddies dolls are sent free to any family who requests them. In fact, many in the Spoonflower community have donated fabric of their own to be used! Get to know Rosanna below.
Where do you live? “I live in Surfside, Florida, a small community on the Atlantic ocean, a mile north of Miami Beach.”
My day starts with: “A cup of steaming hot herbal tea and then off to my studio, a few steps away. For the past several years, it has been home to Baby Bonbons, my children’s clothing and accessory shop on Etsy. I generally spend the morning on the computer working with my shop and my nonprofit, updating web pages, organizing sponsors and fundraising benefits to fund the three Bee Brave Buddies dolls I have designed to give children battling cancer around the US, packing boxes to ship both our clothing and the dolls. I designed the dolls and started giving them to children 18 months ago with the proceeds from my Baby Bonbons shop.
We invite others to join our team to make sure we can make a big difference in the lives of kiddies with cancer and also send us any extra fabrics for our dolls. We also invite everyone who would love to feel the love of these children receiving the dolls, to volunteer and become a doll ambassador.”

Goodbye to Matte Gift Wrap
We're always a bit sad to see any of our substrates retire, but as of August 31, 2015, we are officially removing Matte Gift Wrap from the Spoonflower product lineup. If you use our Matte Gift Wrap regularly, you will continue to have access to the paper while supplies last. If you are not a regular orderer of Matte Gift Wrap but would like to still have access to it while supplies last, please contact our help team at help@spoonflower.com. We will continue to offer Satin Gift Wrap and we're always exploring new substrates. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you for your understanding!
Create the Perfect Winter Pajamas!
fabric design: c0ffee pots with black coffee beans and cream by Victorialasher
There’s nothing quite like snuggling up in a cozy pair of winter pajamas. As the seasons change and we head into the holidays, it’s the perfect time to create your own set of custom-printed jammies with our newest fabric.
Our new Satin is a silky, lightweight 100% polyester woven fabric that is perfect for projects that benefit from high sheen and a soft hand. This luxurious fabric is easier to work with than other satins, its hand softens with washing, and its crisp bright colors hold up very well through repeated laundering. The hardest part is deciding between zombie donut or bacon PJs!

None, that’s who.
