swatch swap
swatches from jesse’s swatch swap have been arriving over the last few weeks. it’s so much fun to open the envelope to see what’s inside! so far i’ve received fabulous swatches from new zealand, japan, south africa, the uk, and the us. i haven’t yet decided what to do with them yet since i don’t sew, but i do have a few ideas…
and my fabric? i finally finished printing this weekend:
i started completely over, and this time used screen printing ink. the good news: the ink set! the not-so-good news: it’s thicker than the speedball inks i first used, and the ink gets gummy quickly. so my white circles are thicker than i’d like. but the ink set, so i’m happy, and my swatches are in the mail!

Print the fabric. Sell the fabric. Print the fabric. Sell the fabric. Am I repeating myself??

It turned out great. White is always the thickest- you have to mix it with extender to get it thinner and nicer to use. Still looks like a very satisfying result. Kudos.

I love the circles. Was the red and blue done randomly?

I love your fabric! It would make a great bag!!!
I am envious of Jesse for getting a swatch. It is a great project she is running….cannot wait to see her end product.
