Wow! If you love to sew, you’re in for such fun! You don’t have to choose only from cloth at fabric stores anymore. You can make your own. Well, you won’t actually process and spin fibers but you can definitely create your own designs. With that in mind all you have to do is decide what garment you want, and what design you want on it, and then sew it together to make something so unique and interesting, that people will talk about it everywhere you go. So, if you like attention from others, you’re on the right road. Just purchase ink-jet printable fabric and you can give it any look you want.
Ink-jet printable fabric is a little more expensive than some common fabrics but, with it, you can make a literature jacket for you to wear, a cartoon dress for a little girl, or even a necktie with an undersea theme; the possibilities are truly endless. You can easily find ink-jet printable cloth online and, now, some local fabric stores are carrying a small variety.
Ink-jet printable cloth is printed just like paper. It has a special backing that helps it glide through the printer. The backing is just removed after the cloth has been printed. So, go online and find excerpts from your favorite book, some beloved poetry, dated news reports, assorted cartoon strips, or other things. You can save these to your computer and adjust the sizes as you need. Print out the designs you want on the fabric and you’re ready to sew.
Cut and sew the ink-jet printed cloth just as you would any fabric. Use a pattern to cut the pieces and sew them all together to create the garment you want. You don’t have to just make garments, though. With the printable fabric you can make pillows, curtains, runners, purses, lampshades, wall hangings, tablecloths, and much more.
You’ll have a great time, for a long time, when you discover ink-jet printable cloth. There are so many different cloth items you can make, and so many different themes you can give to them, that you’ll never want to stop. And you don’t have to. After all, as any one who sews knows, there is always another project that can be done. So, decide on what it will be – a gift for someone, something new for your own home – and get busy printing.
