Stepping outside my comfort zone a little, this is the results of my first ever attempt at fabric stencilling. This wasn’t difficult by any stretch of the imagination but I am going to write up a step-by-step tutorial of things wot I learnt whilst attempting these. Overall, there are some minor details I’m not happy with but I’m pretty pleased with the results. What do you think? (As always you can click on the image to see a bigger version hosted at Flickr.)

Minor irritation – I didn’t stamp my name in a straight line.

Two sleepsuits, two baby vests and a vest top in the middle for Erica’s birthday.

As an aside, I am selling the unstencilled cotton tote bags in my Folksy shop if you’d like to get supplies in to try this yourself. I will make sure the tutorial is available by the end of the week too.
