Painted fabric sleeves

It always amazes me that even though I have umpteen million yards of fabric none ends up being what I need. What do you do when that happens? Paint your own fabric to match! I cut two pieces of plain white cotton fabric the size I needed for the sleeves then wet them down and dunked them into some yellow Jacquard Dye-na-flow fabric paint. Then I got out a brush and painted flames on with red. After they dried a bit I added some orange accents. The flames bled because the fabric was still pretty wet and they lost their shape but I like the look. I think the sleeves came out fabulous! I love Dye-na-flow and I use it all the time. I have developed the habit of drying it with my heat gun and then finishing up with the iron - that way there's hardly any waiting time before you can use the fabric. Of course - they are usually small pieces - but what the heck. Instant gratification!

Looking good, eh? This is The Charmed One from Sherry's online class. Hopefully this coming week she will get her hair and a face!!!
