We print our fabrics using the dye sublimation method. This method is only possible using polyester fabrics. The dye is colourfast, but like all fabrics, should be washed separately before wearing.
Step 2: Choose a Design
Point and click! Our designs are available in 2 categories:
- Repeat patterns, seamlessly joins in any direction;
- Tile or Step & Repeat;
- Tile, image repeats over and over, vertically and horizontally inline. Tile can be useful to make many of the same item, e.g. masks;
- Step & Repeat, image repeats, but is offset by 50% vertically for portrait designs or horizontally for landscape designs. Less repetitive and more visually appealing.
An image showing these options is available below, at the end of this article.
Each design's description will label it either 'Tile' or 'Step & Repeat' as well as provide the design's ratio. I.e., A design with 4:3 ratio is a landscape orientation with a width of 4 units and a height of 3 units (e.g. 20cm x 15cm), a 1:1 ratio is a square...
This information will become more relevant in Step 5b.
Step 3: Add to Basket
- Select your quantity and click 'Add to Basket'. Please note, each item will need to be exactly the same, if you want the same design in a different design width or fabric orientation, you will need to add each unique combination to the basket.
- You may click the 'Go to basket now' pop up or continue adding items to your basket (the more the merrier
) and continue to the basket later.
Step 4: Go to your Basket
When you have selected all the items you desire click the icon on the top left of the website to view your basket.
Step 5: Customising your Fabric Panels
With each selected fabric a clickable dropbox will be visible. Click this box to see a list of options, explained below.
Step 5a: Portrait or Landscape
This relates to the orientation of the Fabric Panel. One or the other may be more appropriate for the item you wish to make using our fabric panels. E.g. Pants, pillowcase, dress... You may wish to consult your sewer.
Step 5b: 'Tile' or 'Step & Repeat'
Covered in Step 2 above. This does not apply to 'Repeat Pattern' designs. Explanatory image below.
Step 5c: Design Width
Select the width you would like the design to be. I.e. a 20cm wide design will fit approx 5 times* across on a landscape panel or 3.5 times on a portrait panel. Use the design's ratio to calculate its height if required.
Step 6: The Rest
