It is so exciting to see a finished project after working hard on a new collection of designs, or a series of illustrations for our clients. But with finished fabric designs it is even a bigger surprise to see what customers create. To see how final products evolve when people put their own creative energy in there is amazing.
If you browse around on Etsy or if you check Instagram for some kids fashion you are very likely to stumble upon some Little Smilemakers prints. Most creatives that use our fabrics have small home-based businesses and sell their projects online and tag us via Instagram. But there are also some bigger fish out they're using our Spoonflower designs for their business. So we see some amazing things pop up in our feed every month. We love how Little Smilemakers creations are the foundation for other creatives all around the world to work with. So here is our monthly blog post that features some creative results from Spain, the United States, UK, and Canada. This month we selected a whole bunch of favorite fabrics turned into the most gorgeous items. Kids fashion, nursery accessories and home and interior decoration, so much to choose from! We have selected some cool nursery textiles, kids swimwear and socks, we selected some new bags and purses you’re going to love! Take a look and see if there is something for you too. Have a look and enjoy our June selection.
1 // Wally + Ollie Clothing
We were tagged in some amazing cute swim pieces by Walton who runs a small business from her home in Jacksonville Florida. We love what she created with our copper rainbow design. This print is perfect for neutral creations and she turned them into girly bikinis and swim shorts for boys too. The bananas have been our surface pattern summer hot seller over at Spoonflower this year. They make a cute contrast with the darker western inspired designs she has in her shop. We love the images for these new pieces and couldn’t resist sharing them for this blog post. Take a look in their shop if you’d like to see more of what she creates.

This little shop was founded by Helen who’s based in Manchester who makes eco-friendly and on-trend lifestyle products. She mixes retro, Nordic and abstract designs and we love her fun pouches, planters, and make-up bags so we wanted to spotlight her small business in our monthly Made-with post. Our zigzag print was used for these gorgeous items, but there are many more fun prints to choose from. So take a look in her shop to browse all home decor and fashion accessories.

We always wanted to make socks and we’re still looking for a sock partner in crime to collab with. But we can finally add some socks to our portfolio, even though it’s not a licensed design, this is the next best thing right? We love what Raw Sox created with our ziggy zag monochrome print design. This Spanish brand, based in Madrid creates socks that are a mix of illustrations, patterns, and photography and they’re truly unique. We just wanted to share these summer pieces to you guys.
