Heyhey,
so I did another upcycle just with textile color and brushes… its actually inspired by the dvd-cover design if the movie juno, which is also made with stripes and writing in between… and I liked the look… its an old long sleeve my mum decided she wouldnt wear again… shes a size smaller then me, but with that jersey it still fits and I like tight clothes. Well here’s what I did:
Recipe
Ingredients
1 old long sleeve (or new, if you like the style and dont have an old one)
2 colors to your liking, that look good together, of textile paint
one textile marker
set square, tailors chalk and brushes
Instructions
first take your old long-sleeve, put it on and mark with a tape where you want the letters to be
then draw with chalk the lines around it, I started 2 lines above the mark and made the distance 1cm bigger each line down
then remove the tape, put a thick paper inside and write with the textile pen what you want on your long-sleeve… I actually wanted the tailorfairy to be in one line… but I started to big, so I had to split it up
take the color for the writing
and paint the letters… I also did style the lettering with the textile pen a little
next paint the lines with the other color
draw the same lines on the sleeves… I also did one additional line to the hem, also do thick paper inside the sleeves
and paint them… on both sleeves
let the paint dry and then turn around and paint the back
as well as the sleeves
then iron the color to make it permanent… follow the instructions of your textile colors, maybe they need something else, then ironing
Finished!
Isnt that fun? and so easy, it just takes a little for the drying times.
all questions welcome
keep sewing and smiling
Nicely done and a great source of promotion.
thank you!
