What’s your favorite fabric base? For me it is Organic Cotton Knit (Interlock). It is so soft, medium weight, and good for most projects. Natural fiber and organic is a plus! I have used it with woven patterns as well, since it’s pretty stable and substantial feeling. I usually buy it from Spoonflower, but have also bought from Carriage House Printery (US). There are more family owned print shops popping up as well that offer this base.

I am passionate about small businesses and am happy to guide you as you begin your journey selling handmade clothing! I had a small business for a decade before I became the owner of Puperita. Sometimes it can be intimidating getting started. Please feel free to use any Puperita pattern for your small business. I do not require you to credit Puperita for the use of the patterns. However, I do not allow them for use in commercial/mass production.
