Another month bit the dust and we are now 4 months away from kissing 2024 goodbye. Scary huh? This means that the September 2024 calendar page is up for download in the the freebie zone.
September marks the first month of autumn for many and the return of pumpkin spice lattes. Kids are usually back to school or about to get back to school and parents get a breather. In India, it's usually the start of the festive season. This year Ganesh Chaturthi falls on September 7th, then it's a spiral of festivities with Navratri, Durga Puja and Dusshera before celebrating Diwali and finally Christmas and New Year. This means that if you are a designer, you need to get your Christmas designs out now! Ideally for fabric designs you should have started uploading them on Spoonflower and other fabric PoD all through August because people are buying seasonal fabric for their crafts and sewing project now. But the time to upload to other PoD has also come if you want them to be indexed and showing up in searches by October/November. Plus people shop for the holiday season quite early. I usually get most of my Christmas designs sales in September/October. If you have been working on designing Holidays designs in July and August, now is the time to assemble them into collection and focus on other things like starting to assemble winter non-holidays collections and start thinking about spring designs. I for myself am working on a collection around a floral pattern I created in July and has a lot of potential, Stay tuned!
