One of the most common questions we get from the garment sewing community about Spoonflower fabric is: “Which knit is right for me?” With five different options ranging from organic cotton to Lycra®, and two-way stretch to four-way stretch, there’s something for every project. But where to start? Our handmade garment gal Meg of MEGMADE Sewing is here to help answer that question! Meg: Hello, everyone! I’m so delighted to be back on the Spoonflower blog talking all about knit fabrics and how to use them for adult apparel. Spoonflower has long been a source for whimsical, novelty or eccentric...
Desperation is the biological parent of pure genius – that’s how the saying goes, right? However it goes (though I’m pretty sure I’m right), there were more than a handful of desperate moments while pulling my house together for shooting the reveal...
A lot of them were money induced moments, like “we need a big piece of art to go here, but can’t really afford a big piece of art.” But there were also a few day of shooting moments of desperation.

It is truly best celebrated when you coordinate costumes with others and make it an ~ensemble~ rather than a solo venture. We have come up with 12 fun and easy couples costumes that you can replicate with your significant other, best friend, child, or any other favorite noteworthy person...
I’m one of the biggest Halloween fans of them all — I live for all-things spooky, and I love dressing up and going to parties and getting to ditch my usual going-out clothes for something exciting and different

But more often than not, big costume plans turn into scrambling to put something together two hours before the bar crawl I’m going on and, for the third year in a row, ending up being Rachel Green once again (buying a Central Perk apron was the gift that keeps on giving!). While during Halloweekend, our Insta feeds will be flooded with celebs in costumes that took teams of makeup artists and custom costumes to create, it doesn’t mean that a great costume has to be a result of a ton of planning and money. There are plenty of costumes that...
