Announcing January’s Design Challenge Themes
Be My Valentine | Entries due by January 1

Animal Prints | Entries due by January 8
The Spoonflower community is going wild for animal prints and it’s time to bring the fierceness to the Weekly Design Challenges. When creating your repeating pattern, don’t forget to imagine how your design might be used. From a me-made Celosia Velvet™ leopard blazer and zebra-striped Cypress Cotton Canvas pillows to a pair of friendly-tiger toddler leggings, we can’t wait to see how you put your spin on this 2019 trend. Entries will be previewed at the fat quarter size: 21” x 18”. Submissions close January 8 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Voting begins January 10. Winners will be announced January 17.
Moon Landing with Princess Awesome | Entries due by January 15
We’re over the moon to announce that our friends from Princess Awesome are back! If you missed our first challenge with the children’s apparel company, catch up on all the details and see the winning design on one of their signature twirly dresses.
This time around, Princess Awesome is bringing along Challenger Center to celebrate a momentous occasion: the 50th anniversary of the landing on the moon! On July 20, 1969, mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin were the first two people to land on the moon and to celebrate, Princess Awesome and Challenger Center are teaming up to create a dress commemorating the anniversary featuring this week’s winning design. While creating your moon-inspired pattern, be sure to focus on design elements that will inspire little girls everywhere to dream of space exploration. If you’re inspired by the night sky, the moon, and the technology that helped us reach it – show us what that means to you. We can’t wait to bring one of your designs to life so that the girls who wear it this summer – celebrating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing and dreaming of traveling to space – may one day find themselves there. Please note: designs including the NASA logo will not be accepted. Entries will be previewed at the fat quarter size: 21” x 18”. Submissions close January 15 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Voting begins January 17. Winners will be announced January 24. See official rules.
Rockabilly | Entries due by January 22
What do you get when rhythm and blues meet country music? One of the earliest styles of rock-and-roll, rockabilly. Originally from the 1950s, the iconic genre has a strong following that has withstood the test of time. As you create your entry this week, channel the rockabilly style with themes centered around vintage tattoos, pin-up girls, polka dots and even skulls. Entries will be previewed at the fat quarter size: 21” x 18”. Submissions close January 22 at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. Voting begins January 24. Winners will be announced January 31. See official rules.
