New colorways feature on Spoonflower
I'm happy to share that some of my fabric designs have been selected for the new colorways feature on Spoonflower.
According to Spoonflower, they have included the designs with at least one sale which offer a colorway option. I have also noticed that only hero designs (main focal prints) in large or medium scale were selected.
So, if you're interested in fabric by the yard or in fat quarters, you can find them at the links below.

How to care for digitally printed fabrics
I’m printing my fabric designs through Spoonflower and would like to share a few basic fabric care tips in case you’d like to do the same.
Wash fabric before trimming
Wash your printed fabric before trimming off white borders. Almost any woven fabric will naturally fray during the washing or drying cycles. So, if it happens, only white borders will fray, and you won’t lose any fraction of your printed fabric.
Wash cold with low spin setting
Wash your fabrics separately on a cold setting because high temperatures may cause fabrics to shrink and some colors to bleed. Use a gentle cycle with the low spin setting, if possible. Using low spin will prevent your fabrics from fraying too much. Wash with mild phosphate-free detergent.
Lay or hang fabric to dry
Lay your fabrics flat or hang them to dry. This will prevent wrinkling and will make it easier for you to iron (press) your fabrics.
Iron fabric on the appropriate setting
Iron your fabrics with the printed side down and on the appropriate setting. I’m using the Cotton setting for 100% cotton fabrics, Wool or Silk for cotton blends, and Synthetics for polyester.
Store your fabric away from sunlight
Sunlight may cause colors to fade. So always store your fabrics away from direct sunlight to keep the colors vibrant.
Roll fat quarters for storage
You can store fat quarters rolled to prevent wrinkling. This way you won’t have to press them again. Thicker fabrics like Cotton Canvas can be easily rolled on their own. You may use a sheet of printer paper to roll thin fabrics.

Little Treasures fabric collection is now available on Spoonflower!
My first fabric collection called "Little Treasures" has just launched on Spoonflower. It's inspired by my childhood memories and things I’ve learned from my grandparents. Like cross-stitch embroidery, crochet, and sewing.
There are 9 patterns in three colorways in this collection. The colorways are called "Berry", "Evergreen", and "Caramel".
I've also added various scale options for some of the prints so that they will work nicely for fabric, wallpaper, and home décor products.
It took two rounds of samples to make sure that each pattern looks exactly as I wanted it to be. I hope that some of them can be a perfect fit for your sewing or patchwork projects, and I can't wait to see what you create! Feel free to tag me @reginakareev on social media.
