New in My Spoonflower Shop!

Sew-on banding (fabric trim) with SCAdian populace badges. Designs for all 20 kingdoms are already for sale, and I’ll be adding the other 200+ over the next few weeks.

The banding is sold as by-the-yard fabric. This means it can be made of any of the several fabrics that Spoonflower offers: basic cotton broadcloth, linen/cotton blend, silk/cotton blend, or even velvet, to name a few. Just cut the fabric into 2-inch strips along the fine lines marked for that purpose, tuck the quarter-inch seam allowances under, and sew as you would with a regular ribbon or trim. It’s a little bit more work to apply than ribbon, but the wide range of options for material are worth it.

November, 2024: Latest Fabric Designs

One of the designs I added to my Spoonflower shop last week, a damask from Renaissance-era Spain:

I’m very pleased with the way it turned out. I made it in several colorways, including silver-grey on black. (Imagine this design on velvet!)

Then there’s this:

So many circles! I think I may now be done with roundels for a while (unless I see a Byzantine design that I really like, of course).

I’ve also added some new wall hanging/ tea towel panels, a Celtic zoomorphic interlace of running hounds in three different colorways, and several more SCAdian heraldic designs.

If something (relatively) more “modern” is your thing…

My other Spoonflower shop (Red Tansy 2 – easy to remember, right?) now has Charles F. A. Voysey’s lovely Arts & Crafts “Briar Rose” in several colorways, like this pink and grey on white version:

And this simple Art Nouveau design by Lewis Foreman Day:
