...on PJs/lounge pants? I wanted to get my girlfriend these PJS for xmas and I have this little design I made in Print Shop. Basically what I want is to make this image into a pattern on fabric where the images repeats over and over on the fabric and make that fabric into PJs for her. I can't find ANYWHERE where this can be done for me. I was going to purchase the fabric myself off of Spoonflower.com...but I haven't a clue how to sew and with only a little over a week before Xmas, it'd be a longshot to try to especially with work and everything else I got going on. Anyone know any sites or stores that might be able to help me out? I would SOOOOOOO appreciate it. Thank you a million.
 
Chances are that all of the local folks who do custom sewing are going to be booked up -- and if you do happen to find someone with an opening, it's likely to be expen$ive because of the short timeframe. (And can Spoonflower get it to you that fast???)

Consider recasting this as a Valentine's present, which will give you time to find someone locally who can sew for you. (And the project isn't going to be particularly difficult -- I just know what lead times are likely to be this time of year). Around here, I'd expect to pay about $100 in sewing fees, on top of pattern, fabric and notions, just so you know...

Or you could stencil, stamp or use iron on paper. Take a look at some of the techniques at http://www.dharmatrading.com and http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hho/cache/344461-0-0-225-121.html
If you go the transfer paper route, pay attention to the color of the pjs... the transfers don't show up well on dark, and the fabric has to be nice and smooth.
 
You are not going to find any where that will do a custom print fabric. You can purchase a white or creme PJ bottom and screen print the design on the leg of the pant or buy fabric and put the design on yourself. You can check out fabric stores, sewing machine dealers, dry cleaners, local CC, for seamstresses. But at this late date you may not find anyone who wants to be sewing, even though this is an easy pattern for someone who sews.
