Spoonflower have a contest in which the community will vote on a design that they’d like to be able to buy. Only designs submitted specifically for the contest will be eligible and each winner will get five yards of free fabric. Spoonflower will then offer the winning design for sale for exactly a week – no longer – to anyone and everyone through its Etsy shop. Details here. This is a precursor to allowing designers to sell designs through Spoonflower.

If you would like to see what everyone is designing and making with their fabrics – head over to the spoonflower flickr group.
