DIGITALLY PRINT YOUR DRAWINGS ONTO FABRIC

Tutorial: Digitally print drawings onto fabric at Lolo & Grace. Sewing with Little People.  www.loloandgrace.com

This week at Project Run and Play, the theme was to create something that represented your signature style.  This was all that was needed to motivate me to make something with the fabric we had printed at Spoonflower using a drawing my Little Person created this summer.

When my biggest Little One isn't using her creative juices sewing, she is drawing, painting or colouring.   And while I think this is fabulous and encourage creativity, sometimes it needs a little direction.   Direction?  Yes, away from walls, clothes and carpets.   We've had a few 'episodes' recently.   While on one hand I'm scolding her, really my heart sings at her seemingly constant need to create.  

So this little project is a win for both of us.   My Little One gets to wear clothes she's drawn on, and I have the pleasure of seeing her creations without the need to wash it out!  

If you want to do something similar, it's super easy.  Take a look at the tutorial on how to digitally print drawings on fabric.  

For this outfit, I used a blouse pattern from Figgy's and a self drafted A-line skirt with contrasting pocket detailing.

A summer's afternoon spent drawing outside.   I love this Little One's drawing so much, we are going to turn it into fabric, then a dress.
