LoungeKat Textile Prints.
Posted on November 19th, 2008 by LoungeKat
Here’s a peek at the first run of LoungeKat textile prints.
The designs are digitally printed onto quilting grade cotton ( by Spoonflower ) - the fabric is thin but very easy to work with.
Overall I’m really happy with the result and I’m planning more designs for production in the next month or so. The process of getting a design printed is fairly easy and the turn-around was quick, especially since the printing was done in the US.
One thing I did find was that the red in my designs came back orange, this was a problem with the settings of the printer versus the settings in Photoshop. The problem can be fixed using a colour chart that’s available from the Spoonflower blog (which I’ll be using for my next run).
I’m not sure what I’ll be doing with my fabric other than covering a cushion (with Late) and making a lampshade (With Blimey Skulls). The leftovers will be sent to my sister who is a bazillion times more crafty than I am and whatever she makes will look brilliant. I promise to post pictures when the time comes.
While we wait, does anyone have any suggestions on what to make?

You should set up an etsy shop (or use the shop you’ve got) and sell the fabric designs. Other people are doing that with their designs, and I would happily buy your “late” design to print some fabric … it’d match my apartment like crazy.

Thanks
I’ll be listing it on Spoonflower when they launch the shop section - I was also thinking about adding it to the competition they run.
I need to change the orange to red- or does orange suit your apartment better?
