After I was done painting the fabric I made some bags. Here are a couple of handbags I made.
And here is a grocery tote I created.
The fabric was painted with an assortment of Jacquard Dye-Na-Flow, Jacquard Textile Colors, and Tumble Dyes. I used lots of stencils and Thermofax screens to create patterns. The white squares screen print you see is a Thermofax screen from my friend Margaret Applin. She sells these screens in her shop <click here>. She recently added some new designs to her inventory and I've got my eye on some of those.
I also used some stencils/templates by Crafter's Workshop. I love their stencil designs and have quite a few, but they came out with some new designs this summer. Again, I'm eyeing some of those new designs to add to my stencil tool box.
I have added the two handbags to my Etsy shop.

Terri, the fabric is gorgeous and you've made some beautiful bags with it. I love the colours.
Gorgeous patterning, nice use of color and stencils! I've got my 'eye' on a few of those very things!
I love the colours and the painting/stencilling. Very inspiring. And the bags are awesome too.
It's time I gave something like this a go. Just as soon as it stops raining and the sun comes out!
