Hello

Thank you for looking at my blog. My latest passion is applique which I have been doing since 2015. I love making things and learning new crafts On this blog you will see some of the things I have been working on. You will also see wonderful items created by other people. When I am not crafting I enjoy being with family and friends, singing and family history. My favourite place in the whole world is anywhere by the sea and I have to get my fix every few weeks. My favourite colour is PURPLE but I love turquoise too!

Fabric Printing

I have been doing a course with Sarah at Skibbereen Library.
We have been using foam board and a pencil to create a printing block.
 We mixed some acrylic paint with some fabric stabiliser (50/50) painted it onto a sheet of acrylic, rolled that paint unto the block then pressed the block unto the fabric and held it under a book for a few minutes. Peel off (carefully!) and hey presto printed fabric.
 Leave to dry for a few days then iron on the reverse, wash the fabric to set the paint and iron again.
You are then ready to bead, stitch or whatever.
Think I will enjoy playing with this technique.
