First Fashion Prints!

Today I finally printed on fabric for the first time. The results were largely successful. I printed my staggered cord pattern on two separate shirts with Speedball fabric ink. 


This is the first of the two shirts I printed on. The opaque black ink covered the dark fabric fairly well, which was a surprise as I expected this to be an issue. Overall the process went off without a hitch, though there were a couple small issues in the composition of the pattern, with a few sections getting closer together than I would have liked.


Here is the second attempt on a green v-neck shirt. The composition was more successful thanks in part to there being a wider front to work with. This is not the final image, however, as I intend to highlight the central cord in yellow ink to add emphasis to the piece. This is a risky experiment, but if it is similar to the original design I am basing it on, it should look just fine.
