screen printing


Here are some tops I have made in the last few weeks. The tree top I have made from the big roll of fabric I bought. I like these puffy raglans, I think I will do a few more, only slightly different. I have a bit of a fascination with trees at the moment, especially ones with no leaves, I have made another with a tree, but have not taken a photo yet. The second tee here was going to be very different to this. I have a lot of plain, large white buttons and I had this idea to stitch them onto a sleeveless black top, onto lines stitched onto the garment in white. First I did not have any black fabric, so I used this navy cotton Lycra. Then I could not get the lines to look right, so I screen printed some lines on (on the original design they are straight, so I changed this also) in yellow, as I had no white paint, then just sewed different kinds of buttons on. I am quite pleased with the way it has come out though. Have not decided whether to put this on Etsy or 5trillion or what yet!
