Printed Pattern Fabric Sheets

Today I took the plunge and tried printing some patterns onto sheets of fabric. The fabric I used was a canvas type fabric that I picked up at my local haberdashery. Once the sheets are done I think I may try and make a small pouch to see how well the fabric and the print will hold up.

I started out by cutting the fabric down into 4 sheets and then ironing them so they were a wrinkle free as possible.


I used the Speedball fabric printing ink in red





The final sheet!


The down side is that there is a bit of bleed through on the back, so I may try out a slightly thicker fabric next time round.


I did also try out printing a cloud pattern, although this fabric isn't quite finished.
