Court Sports Challenge

The second Spoonflower challenge of 2024 is “Court Sports”. Not being a sporty person in any kind of world, I was not initially very inspired by the prompt. However, I’ve been wanting to do a design with a vintage preppy vibe for a while and once I started off in that direction, it was gangbusters. I came up with a pink, green and aqua collection featuring badminton equipment – yes, straight from the Preppy Handbook of my youth. My collection is called “Preppy Vintage Badminton” and comes with a full collection of companion and blender prints.

Voting runs from Jan 18-30 and is open to the public.
