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.

Notecards

Keep with the theme of stationary I printed some notecards with the toadstool pattern and a new design of a mountain range. The cards are A6 in size which makes them the same size as the notebooks.

Toadstool Notebook Design

I wanted to do something a little different from the paper airplanes and I drew out a toadstool pattern for some notebooks. I know toadstools are a bit of an odd choice but I have always liked the quirky look of toadstools and I always associate them with fairytales. Just like the paper airplane notebooks I screen printed each of the covers first and then hand stitched the notebooks together.
