Today, we are proud to announce a partnership between Craft Buds and 13 Spools to bring you an awesome new program:

Let’s face it, this industry is tough to get a foothold in, especially for aspiring fabric designers! But luckily, as sewers (and consumers of beautiful fabric), we have the power to lift up those artists who are truly amazing, even if they aren’t “big-time” yet.

For the next year, we’ll be following some awesome fabric designers. We’ll learn about their process, see samples of their fabrics, and what inspires them. Along the way, Amy of www.13spools.com will make some real life projects showcasing the fabric, so you can really get an idea of how they’ll look in your own work.

We encourage you to support these designers in the start of their journeys by using their fabrics, sharing about them with your friends, following them on Instagram, and by commenting on these posts with your feedback. And if you are a textile artist/designer with a unique body of work, but not yet signed with a fabric company, or know of someone who fits that description, please contact us!

Last but not least, we want to know – what part about the fabric design process are you curious about? Please leave a comment telling us what you’d love to hear about from the designers!

    Awesome! This is going to be a fabulous adventure! As a ‘sheltered’ quilter, I rely on others to share new fabric, must have and new designers! Thanks to you both! Now I want to go find and buy from an Indy designer…I’m inspired!
    I love to hear about designers thought process behind a design. It always amazes me!

    I would love to learn more about designing fabrics. I always have great ideas and can never find a fabric that fits the ideas and then just have to settle for something else.

    Fabulous fabric design series! Yes, it’s what we all love!
    I am curious how tablets. And handheld devices are being used by fabric designers to build their work . I love Jenean Morrison’s IG posts which tell the techie products she uses to develop her designs. So many tools now to work with and so much to learn! Photoshop, Illustrator, Creative Suite __, Kuler, Mosaic, Pages, Draw, and so on. Interesting how some designers start with a drawing, painting, or inspiration board and somehow end up with a digital image to manipulate and massage into fabric!
    I will be following this series!
