National Textile Day: History | Sustainability | Fabric Types | April Best Sellers |
Happy National Textile Day! Observed every year on May 3, this day honors the rich history and essential role of textiles in our daily lives. From handwoven tapestries to cutting-edge performance fabrics, textiles have been central to fashion, culture, art, and innovation for centuries. Whether you’re sewing your own clothes, quilting, or crafting home decor, today is a celebration of fiber, fabric, and creativity!
One of the best ways to honor Textile Day is by supporting sustainable fabric design—and that’s where Spoonflower shines. Spoonflower prints fabrics on demand, meaning no excess inventory and less waste. That makes each yard you order more eco-conscious, whether you’re buying a fat quarter or enough for a whole quilt.

- Cotton Poplin , Petal Signature Cotton, Lightweight Cotton Twill, Organic Cotton Sateen, Linen Cotton Canvas, Minky, Fleece, Performance Pique, Sport Lycra, Chiffon, Celosia Velvet, Cypress Cotton Canvas, Dogwood Denim, Silky Faille, …and more!
