Fabric on Demand put to the test
Two weeks ago, I wrote about Fabric on Demand in post called Fabric on Demand --high tech meets homespun . Fabric on Demand is an online service where anybody can upload a design and have it printed as a fabric. I'm fascinated by this particular iteration of web 2.0, and it bodes for a future I'm very willing to embrace. What a tremendous means of self-expression this represents. I mean; why settle for upholstery, clothing, window treatments or bedding you don't love when you can design your own?
Soon after that weblog post published, I despatched a hyperlink to it to Fabric on Demand. I do this regularly by the manner. When I discover a cool product, service or internet site it is my trendy technique to jot down to the producer, issuer or web grasp to let them realize that I observed them and that I like what they are up to.
Anyhow, I heard returned from Rysa at Fabric on Demand later that day and he or she provided to print me a sample so I could see how their manner works up near. I jumped on the danger and in flip wrote some other submit inquiring for a courageous volunteer to ship me an unique instance that would translate well as a cloth pattern. I became searching out some thing brightly coloured and clean to work into a repeated pattern.
I appreciate all the interest that request generated and Kelly James from Design Ties sent me an illustration she did of some pool balls and they were perfect. Here's what Kelly sent me:
I uploaded the pool balls to Fabric on Demand's website and had a evidence returned in no time. Here's a near up of the evidence:
Here's what that sample will look like as a yard of material.
Pretty cool! Fabric on Demand is printing me a sample of this pattern and I should have it by subsequent week. When it arrives, you may see it here first. Stay tuned!
