Oh yeah, I'm going to try THIS!!!! TY for an amazing tutorial. You knew your subject well, very prepared and message delivered with clear and concise language. You did a nice job on this. Sorry to fall back to my old job description of evaluating job performance. LOL
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I found 2 sets of the dyes at the goodwill for $2.99! I’m so excited to create linings for the lampshades I make!
Hi Ann , tomorrow Sunday March 6 , I will painted my fabric, using this technique, already found all the products, the drop cloth double board I found at the Ace Hardware store . A very, very large piece for only $8.00 😳😳🕺🏻🕺🏻, so know is just follow your instructions. I already pre cut , every piece of the shirt I will put together for my husband , because makes easy to paint small pieces on the shape I will use for the shirt . Thanks for the help🖐🖐❤️❤️❤️
Great! You may already know this; Unless you stay-stitch the bias, be careful to handle the cut fabric pieces gently as you paint so not to stretch any cut areas. I hope you will let me know how it goes. Find my email on my website.
Beautiful project and really clear instructions!!! I want to make a smooth painted fabric, to resemble a sunset on a large piece of cotton muslin. I plan to make it darker (more highly saturated than yours) and then applique another design using fusible interface. Would this work if I omit the drop cloth, dilute the paint less and fuse other fabric onto it?
Thank you. I have several other videos on painting sky and other fabric, as well as applying fused fabric onto painted fabrics. What you describe sounds like it would work, just be aware that whatever surface you have under the fabric may leave a design and/or bubbles. I usually paint my fabric stretched in a frame. As I always suggest - Experiment!
Question: I’m painting flowers on a long shirt. Do you think I could use an embroidery hoop to keep a section taut while painting? Can I use one without stretching my shirt out of shape?
Good questions and this sounds like a fun project! If the shirt fabric is non-stretch a hoop should work. It may help for you to watch my "Painted Fabric Landscape in a Hoop" video. I would suggest, when hooping, have the fabric laying on the surface - in other words - have the right side of the fabric (the side you will be painting) inside the hoop instead of on top, resting on a hard surface. BUT if your shirt fabric is stretchy and as long as you are careful with the heat setting - iron a piece of freezer paper to the inside of the shirt area where you plan to paint. The freezer paper will stabilize the fabric, and as long as your paint is not to watery, it should not bother the paint or end result. Don't remove the freezer paper until the paint is completely dry. Long answer but I hope it is clear and helpful. Maybe you'll share you finished project(?).
That's sounds like a fun idea. I haven't tried this technique on a garment. I would think that as long as you can us a t-shirt form inside or stretch the t-shirt onto other cardboard it may work. Maybe test it on an old t-shirt or piece of t-shirt type knit fabric. I would try first with the t-shirt or fabric dry and another wet, to see how the paint will travel/move over it. If you do this I'd love to hear about your results. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I always say give it a try (at your own risk) but I'm sure there would be techniques to use on fabrics that are not a smooth, 100% cotton. The paint needs to flow and not just be absorbed. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I would suggest placing a drop of water on your fabric. If the water soaks in immediately it should be good to go but if the water beads up you may want to pre-wash. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I prefer textile paint, but thinned to the correct consistency, acrylic would work too. I rarely use dye for any of my artwork, I love Jacquard Textile Color paint. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Great question... A plastic bag could work but because the drop cloth is a bit stiff it holds the creases and gives the texture. Give it a try, that's the best way to learn what works for you. Thanks for watching!

LOL. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the project.
Oh my gosh! I am going to try this, I have been wanting to do some fabric coloring myself and this is so doable! Thank u !
Great. Thank you and have fun!
Thank you SO much for sharing this! Your fabric painting videos have helped me to develop and grow as a fiber artist. So grateful. xxx
I appreciate your kind comment. It makes me happy to know that my videos have helped you. Thank you!

This is an awesome idea. I make quilts and sometimes it hard to find the exact shade desired. This helps immensely. Blessings to You! 🦋🦋🦋
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment.

I'm glad to hear you love it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
What a lovely background for fabric collage.
Great idea! Thank you for watching and commenting.
fabulous idea of creating texture on fabric! loved it! i am going to try it with a crunched plastic bag though!
Great. Thanks for watching.

Thank you! 😊
Hi....LOVE the video......could I apply this method to a tshirt also ?😊

how about painting on mesh/stretchy fabric? do you feel like a different technique should be used or this is fine?
I always say give it a try (at your own risk) but I'm sure there would be techniques to use on fabrics that are not a smooth, 100% cotton. The paint needs to flow and not just be absorbed. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Hi Ann, loved your tutorial,can I use aluminum foil instead of the top cloth??
I say give it a try, the results may be different but will probably still give a great painted fabric.
soo cool !!
Thank you for watching and the kind comment!
Should fine muslin fabric be pre-washed before the paint-pouring? Thanks!
I would suggest placing a drop of water on your fabric. If the water soaks in immediately it should be good to go but if the water beads up you may want to pre-wash. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Hi!can I use any acrylic paint or do I need a special dye for textiles?
I prefer textile paint, but thinned to the correct consistency, acrylic would work too. I rarely use dye for any of my artwork, I love Jacquard Textile Color paint. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Do you need the drop cloth or can you use a scrunched plastic bag as well ?
Great question... A plastic bag could work but because the drop cloth is a bit stiff it holds the creases and gives the texture. Give it a try, that's the best way to learn what works for you. Thanks for watching!
Where did you get double side drop cloth?
@@paulettev2749 hi
