Experimenting with Fabric

I love the idea of designing my own fabric prints. I have registered with Spoonflower but a few months ago someone told me about fabric you can print with an inkjet printer.

I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today. Fantastic service.

I have been drawing and doing a bit of a paisley design so I thought I would scan it it and try it on the new fabric sheets. It is not a brilliant design but I enjoyed doing it and it has shown up some things I can change next time.

This is the fabric with the backing still on.

Peeling the backing off.


The backing all off.

Now I am excited about doing some more designs. I will keep you posted.

Vote for me!!

The wonderful gifted Feltmeup Designs had a competition on her blog, to design a tweet.

I came up with the idea of a crested canary, which is based on a real canary we had when I was a child. He had a little crest of dark feathers that looked so much like a Beatles' mop top cut, that he was named Ringo. Oh, her tweet look so like him, it bought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye!

Vote for Ringo here
