After a lot of experimenting with the shop’s new serger, I finished up the t-shirt I was working on before so that I would be able to screen print on it.
This is the feather pattern I was planning on printing.
For this print I wanted to experiment with how detailed I would be able to make a resist which is why I chose to use a emulsion screen. The resist worked for the indigo, because you only have to immerse the fabric in the dye for a short time, whereas other dyes like logwood or madder you would have to leave it in longer and the oil resist print may come off.
Here is the back part of the design, the detailed part would be printed on top of the resist.
This is a red oxide on top of the resist.
The other sewing project I worked on was from the yardage I had printed previously. I wanted to make a simple pattern.
All in all I do not make comments on blogs, but I have to mention that this post really forced me to do so. Really terrific post
