Printers Rags [and Birthday Card]

Hello :) So things have been a bit quiet with projects for a couple of weeks. Food poisoning really knocked me back, and I'm just getting back on my feet again!

Anyway, it's my wonderful Dad's Birthday this week, and since he spends most of his time in the workshop with his printing presses, I thought he might appreciate some rags for that purpose alone!


I picked up a set of tea towels and began by cutting them in half and rehemming them.


I then added designs to each rag to create a unique series.



"ink" and "print", stitched using my sewing machine, and a range of coloured threads.



"print" and "ink" stencilled using Tulip Gellies black and a sponge.



"type" one and two, again using my sewing machine and layering fabric.

Aaaaaand... The complete set!


This concept would work great to make towels for anyone or any occasion!

I also made my Dad's Birthday card using leftover fabric...
