Debbie's report on the day school - thanks Debbie!
We were asked to draw a design onto paper to make either a panel or lampshade, once we were happy with it we had to re-draw the design onto a freezer paper template.
We then had to cut out the design and iron the freezer paper onto the calico, wax side down, to temp. stick it to the fabric.
Then came the fun part! Painting in the template using fabric dyes. These we're then dried before removing the freezer paper. Once it was completely dry the fabric was ironed to 'fix' the dyes.
The following the instructions, and a fair bit of help, from Astrid we made the fabric into the lampshade or panel.
I really good day where everyone went home with a finished item, for a change!
