What was your inspiration?

My FIL collects corkscrews... so I thought this would be great!

I drew the corkscrew, then had the fabric printed on Spoonflower.

What are you most proud of?

The corkscrews look great... and the tie came out really well!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

When sewing up the back of the tie, it's really helpful to pin first :)

Fabric printed on Sunflower?? What are you saying? You sent your fabric off to be printed or what? Is Sunflower a website? I like it but I am not clear on how you drew the corkscrew and then got it on the fabric. Anyone??

Spoonflower is a website (www.spoonflower.com). I drew an image on my computer, and saved it as a .jpg. Then, I uploaded the jpg to the website (Spoonflower) and they printed it on the fabric. You should check the site out!
