about describes what I
have been up to the past couple of weeks. I dyed, overdyed, then used
Paintstiks with a rubbing plate to make this cotton/lycra knit fabric. I
plan to turn it into a simple kind of tee that shows off the fabric.
And
I threw two rayon scarves I did a few weeks ago into a bleach bath, in
the hopes it would improve them. It did. I think I will have at one of
them with the Paintstiks too.
I have been sewing- not for me, but for Shannon. I am about halfway through this dress I let her talk me into.
I'm
doing the version in the upper left corner- thankfully, the fitting
part has gone smoothly. I haven't made anything this fitted in years,
but it looks really cute on her.
I have been thinking about the next Tangled Textiles challenge, Architecture. I think I have some of my fabrics chosen.
I
think I am going to be able to pull off my idea of using architecture
as an inspiration, without doing any buildings or parts of buildings.
So
there you have it, what I've been up to, which hasn't involved a lot of
time on the computer. We'll see how much I'm able to get done on the
dress in the evenings after work!

dyeing knits.. how fun! I wish I could sew better with them. I love those text prints (just bought some of one of them in grey and black).... wondering what you will do with them!
I like the look of that knit - nice job with the dyeing. It will make a cute T-shirt. Can't wait to see your challenge piece - I do like text fabric!
Text fabrics for the challenge piece, you’ve got my attention!
I just bought a little bundle of text fabrics as well!
