Going Dotty

Sooo... remember yesterday, when i was whining about how hard it is to put cloth together? Part of is is because I have to make sure the damned colors don't bleed in the wash, and the ones I'd like to use run like crazy.

Which is how I found myself printing up some cloth yesterday afternoon.

At first, I experimented with using fabric paint to dye the cloth. Not very effective, so I decided on squeegie-ing the colors directly onto the fabric. Just like I do with paper.


Then I remembered my stencils and did these. (I like the big polkadots on the right.)

( I don't like the elephants. What color is that?!?)

*claps hands excitedly* Now to work these babies into the patchwork.
