CHOOSE YOUR SUBJECT
Choose a subject such as artwork, graphic, or public domain graphics for your fabric design. Do not use any design that is not your own or that isn't in the public domain (this is copyright infringement and they take that seriously!) The topic can be as basic or as crazy as you fancy - after all, this is your masterpiece.
USE AN EDITED CLEAN CLEAR PHOTO
I utilized my own watercolor of a strawberry, I took a picture capturing it in indirect sunlight and adjusting colors using photoshop to ensure it's a clean and vibrant photo. To remove background from your photo (PNG) use these strategies: Place your finger on the element using your phone screen an hold down or use apps like Eraser or VectorQ.
SPOONFLOWER -PRINT ON DEMAND
Once you have a clean clear photo or graphic then head over to may favorite printer Spoonflower.com they produce high-quality fabrics and provide various items for printing, including tea towels, pillows, bedspreads, and wallpaper.(This is not a paid advertisement)

SELLING YOUR FABRIC
As you get more comfortable you can take on design challenges with more elements and more intricate repeat patterns. I created a repeating pattern with strawberries and blueberries on my Ipad using my own painted elements. Before selling your design, order a proof to review the final product.
