This past week I was making hand printed fabric pillow covers. It was fun to hand draw the text on to freezer paper. Then cut out and iron on to the fabric.
I recycled the pillow forms from local thrift stores and Extra’s For creative Reuse. The fabric was a table cloth and curtain panel.
Freezer paper can be ironed on to the fabric to be used as a one time stencil. It is easy to cut too.
I did quick color tests on a scrap piece of fabric. I think that all the colors work. It just depends on the message and effect that I want to create. Subtle colors are good to use at the beginning because they hide mistakes.
The next class that I will be offering is Monoprinting Fabric. Check out the details and mark your calendar.
