[Swansea Hackspace] Custom Fabric sites.

[Neil Jones]

I came across some interesting stuff that people may find useful.
These are sites which produce custom fabrics according to your design.
It is a bit like the cafepress  model where you create the design as a 
graphic
and they incorporate it in the fabric. It is different from the custom 
T-shirt stuff
that I have used in the past in that these designs are incorporated into 
the fabric itself
rather than ironed on or something simular.

I can think of lots and lots of uses for this kind of thing. Special 
clothes, clothes for incorporating wearable technology.
curtains, wall hangings, upholstery and covers for special projects 
where the design could be enhanced with fabric.


This site is rather cheap and is useful

And this is more specialised and expensive.
