I tend to recycle old fabrics, and I design my own and buy some on spoonflower (you upload your own designs, or buy other designers) it isn't cheap but I don't make whole items from it just use bits and pieces as embellishments. I am interested to see what people do for their next contest which is to design, cut & sew pattern for a Christmas stocking. Some people design on spoonflower and then sell the fabric on etsy.
