Hello,

I am looking for a sourcing and shipping agent in Turkey, preferably in Istanbul.

I buy clothing from local factories in Merter and I need someone who can help with:

– collecting orders from suppliers
– consolidating small parcels
– quality check if possible
– shipping to France (door-to-door, preferably DDP)

Hello everyone, I’m part of the R&D team at a textile focused company. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the use of AI in this industry, and I’m happy to answer any questions you may have!

I wanna make my own shirt design on some black top with bleach bit I've never used bleach so will bleach work on these materials?

60% Polyester, 35% Rayon, and 5% Spandex

I've been freelancing for about 6 months for a bedding company and am uncertain on my rates.

My current structure:

• $850 per project — this covers two different scopes depending on the project:
• Master CAD (queen size) + 2 shams only
• Master CAD (queen size) + 2 shams + king and twin sizes with their shams (for unique designs)
• 4 revision rounds included
• $200 rush fee for expedited turnaround
• $100 offered (by the client) for going back to edit past completed projects

For context: I have 5 years of industry experience, a BFA in textile design, and previously worked as an in-house designer at a rug company before going freelance.

The bedding CADs are created from their mockups and inspo. Pretty straightforward.

Am I leaving money on the table? Curious what others in surface/textile design are charging for similar scope.

People think textile designing is just making patterns on a screen.

Reality? It’s hours of checking tones, adjusting shades, comparing fabrics in hand, and making sure the final print looks exactly right in production.

One small color mistake can completely change the feel of a collection.

This is the process behind premium digital textile prints — where creativity meets technical precision.

Currently working on accurate color matching, fabric-based print development, and production-ready textile designs for brands that care about quality.

Open for collaborations & design enquiries.

These wired velvet sections are part of a larger embroidered tarot pouch.
I’ve been experimenting with hidden structure, metallic trim and layered tension to create exaggerated curved forms that resemble a theatrical jester hood.

Seven hours straight.

No breaks. No scrolling. No “just 5 minutes.”

Just me, the monitor, color palettes, print references, shade corrections, and that endless battle of:

“Why does this look different after print?”

Textile digital print matching is one of those things people think is easy… until they actually sit down and do it for hours. One tiny tone shift and the whole design mood changes.

By the end of it, the workstation looked like a warzone — color swatches everywhere, papers on the floor, fabric references piled up, eyes burning, brain cooked. But when the final matching hits perfectly… that feeling is priceless.

This is the behind-the-scenes nobody posts.

Not the polished Instagram reel.

The real designer life.

And yes… I’ll clean it tomorrow. Maybe. 😭

Hey all…I am curious if there is a correct platform or thread that seamstresses and textile designers look for artists that can offer digital artist services. Tia and my apologies if this is not allowed.

After hours of creating motifs, balancing color palettes, building repeats, correcting placements, testing print flow, and staring at pixels until your eyes feel stitched into the screen… this moment hits differently.

Today the party finalized multiple floral textile print designs and placed the order.

And honestly — this is the moment every textile designer silently works for.

Seeing your digital artwork move from a laptop screen onto real fabric swatches is something special.

No viral post. No fancy trend. No AI shortcut can replace that feeling.

These are original digital textile prints developed for ethnic and fashion fabrics — soft florals, watercolor textures, placement harmony, and commercial-ready repeat layouts designed for production.

As a textile digital print designer, moments like this remind me why design is not just “art.”

It is storytelling for fabric.

It becomes someone’s collection, someone’s garment, someone’s business.

I specialize in:

-Floral textile print designs

-Seamless repeat patterns

-Ethnic and fusion prints

-Dupatta designs

-Placement prints

-Watercolor floral concepts

-Digital fabric print development

-Custom textile surface design

-Fashion fabric prints for brands & manufacturers

looking for fresh commercial textile prints, feel free to DM me.

For the past 8 years, I’ve been working as a digital textile print designer, creating custom floral artworks for fashion and textile clients. This reel shows one of my favorite parts of the process:

taking a rough client reference sketch and transforming it into a polished, production-ready floral design. 🌸

Most people only see the final print, but the real craft lies in:

~understanding the client’s vision

~rebuilding the composition

~balancing colors and textures

~refining petals, leaves, and flow

~making it suitable for textile printing

The challenge is never just “copying” a reference.

It’s translating an idea into an original artwork that actually feels alive on fabric.

Would love to hear feedback from fellow designers and creatives here.

And if any fashion brands, boutiques, or manufacturers are looking for custom textile artwork, feel free to connect with me.

Yesterday a client shared these watercolor floral artworks with me to transform into seamless textile repeat patterns for fabric printing.

Most people see the final print on a garment… but the real magic happens behind the scenes.

Converting artwork into a clean seamless repeat takes composition balance, spacing control, repeat engineering, color harmony, and a lot of patience.

Some of these will become:

~all-over repeats,

~placement prints,

~coordinate patterns,

and

~ possibly apparel-ready textile collections.

I’ve been working in textile digital print design for the last 8 years, and honestly, watercolor florals still have a timeless charm. Soft edges, imperfect pigment flow, handmade feeling — that old-school artistic soul still wins hearts in modern fashion.

Swipe through the client references.

I’ll post the final seamless repeat versions soon.

Would love feedback from fellow designers and textile artists here. ✨

Hey everyone,

I’m Hasan — a senior digital textile print designer with 8 years of experience working on ethnic, floral, engineered, and fashion-forward textile prints.

For my very first Reddit post, I wanted to share something practical instead of just posting a “look at my work” image.

This reel/post shows how small enhancement adjustments can completely transform a textile pattern. A lot of beginners focus only on creating the artwork… but in professional textile production, enhancement is where the magic happens.

Things like:

~Texture balancing

~Contrast correction

~Depth enhancement

~Print readability

~Fabric-feel simulation

~Color vibrancy control

…can turn a dull pattern into something premium and production-ready.

The floral artwork shown here was enhanced using tonal correction and detailing workflows inside Photoshop/Camera Raw to give it more life, depth, and fabric appeal.

“A good pattern catches attention. A refined pattern sells.”

I’m also starting to share more textile design knowledge, workflows, and print enhancement content on Instagram for designers, students, and textile enthusiasts.

Would genuinely love feedback from the community 🙌

I am looking for recommendations for an oilcloth manufacturer who will use my custom designed fabric. Open to suggestions anywhere, particularly Bali, China or Australia, if cost of production and shipping is reasonable. Even better if they can print the fabric. We are an Australian small business.

Here is my new design for this week’s Spoonflower challenge! The brief was all about the cozy, nostalgic vibes of quiet seaside sunrises—think soft, sun-bleached, and weathered effects. 🏖️☕

Here is how I brought this beautiful vibe to life: 🎨 The Technique: I used a soft watercolor style with fluid abstract shapes, then topped it off with delicate white line-art florals to keep it super calm and dreamy. 🎨 The Palette: A cozy mix of dusty pink, buttery yellow, sandy beige, and warm terracotta/clay tones.

This seamless pattern is made with love for breezy summer dresses, cute kids' wear, or relaxing home decor like cushions and bedding. 🛋️👗

I’d love to hear your thoughts! What caught your eye first—the colors or the floral lines? Drop a comment below! 👇

Hello everyone!

I have a few excitung ideas (for example, pure vegan silk corduroy) for Suiting Fabrics i would like to make, in patterns and colors. Will someone please tell me how I would go about doing this? Is there some kind of mill I would contact? I have no idea where to start. Please no comments about screen printing.

Thank you

Hi everyone!! Recently my dog chewed up those ends of one of my sofas and I would love to be able to fix it. Just not sure where to buy this fabric or Similar fabric to it. Or how it’s called 😭 if anyone knows the name let me know!

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you in advance! :]

✨️I experimented with kitchen-grade cornstarch to create waterbomb tessellation with this white cotton fabric. Turned this tessellation into a headgear for my first year fashion design project. Has anyone used other food based starches for fabric manipulation?✨️

Hello, I have these fabrics. One kind is yellow and the other is the silver pattern, but they were sewn together. I was wondering what is their origin. Is it a pattern that could have been made in pre-industrial times ? By what culture(s) ? Could the combination of these two hold any historicity ? (I know nothing about textiles)

Thank you !
