Hi. I am Oksancia - a vector artist and surface pattern designer.

In this video, I am going to talk about my experience and sharing my review in selling my repeat pattern designs on Spoonflower.

What is Spoonflower?

It’s a custom fabric online marketplace with a great selection of different not only fabrics, but also wallpaper, and gift wrapping paper. Their digital print process uses water-based pigment inks and dyes in a more eco-friendly manner.

Their concept is that independent artists/designers can make their designs available for sale at the Spoonflower marketplace and receive commissions when the custom repeat pattern fabric is sold.

I signed up for Spoonflower in 2010 while living in the Netherlands. I had a great experience with their printing quality and shipment times while living in Europe and now in California.

Here is my Spoonflower fabric shop: http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/o...

As of this moment, I have 318 repeat pattern designs available on my Spoonflower shop some of them are color versions of the same design.

To make your designs available you need to:
1) Save them in the proper format.
2) Upload them to the website.
3) Write the name, description, and tags.
4) Purchase a swatch to test the quality of the print.

I always add batches of my repeat patterns at once and order swatch samples of whole collections of 30 pattern designs at once. This has been the most cost-effective way for me.

Even with this investment in this part of my creative business and not a very active uploading schedule, I still earn a nice commission as a bonus to my other work earnings. The earnings have been growing steadily throughout these years and stay rather stable during the year if I’ve been adding new designs or not.

I often receive requests to resize or recolor patterns for specific purposes. My patterns have been used on many DIY craft projects and I’m always happy to see them.

I used my patterns from my California fabric collection in my tote bag project and a baby blanket for my daughter.

As a big part of my work is creating custom vector repeat patterns for freelance client projects, I had quite a few of my customers come to me after finding my designs via Spoonflower.

This is the story of my experience of 6 years+ selling on Spoonflower. I plan to do more experiments with Spoonflower this year so stay tuned for my updates :)
