I feel like I just received a Red Ryder BB gun....THIS is the 25P Hix Swingman Press, and it is the #holygrail, the key to the fabric printing process. It will heat set all inks to make them permanent and machine washable. #YASS

Sometimes I just have to give in to my #perfectionist tendencies, I'm neurotically planning the new layout for my studio to accommodate the printer & heat press. Yes that's a #sketchup model of my studio. It's getting serious over here folks. #UrbanWorksTextiles #girlbossfoundation #girlboss

Striped to the basics, a zoomed in minimalistic #philly ink drawing. I love this #modern design, I feel it's a good match with my more detailed skyline drawings. Tell me your thoughts! #UrbanWorksTextiles
