I may be a little late on this but, did you know that there are several companies out there selling fabric you can print on? I posted a picture of C. Jenkins Miracle Fabric Sheets because it was one of the few printable cotton sheet products that I found, that had examples of use over the web (see a little lower) and were also washable after printing.
Here are two pictures I found of Miracle Fabric used on the Craft Chi blog.
A customized table cloth and
a pillow.
The only thing I can see there being a problem with is COLOR. If you've ever tried printing a colored image from an inkjet printer on matte paper, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Inkjets work best with semi-gloss to glossy paper and anything else just looks flat and dull. So just to be on the safe side, I wouldn't print colored photographs if I were you. Things with flat colors and contrasts would probably work best. The possibilities are endless!
