Printed Pattern Pieces

Using special fabric and discharge screen printing I have been able to effectively bleach the colour our of the black fabric. The discharge ink attacks the dye molecules of the fabric and  alters the colour. It took a whole day from 9am-8pm but it was well worth it. I then steam ironed the fabric to chance the colour and washed the excess ink off. I will be making all these pattern pieces into my garment, but before that I have to overlock the seams. The effect is unusual and I really like the way it has turned out.
