How do you get the fabric printed so beautifully? :O is it outsourced or is it something that can be done on a home printer? Or maybe you paint it by hand?!!?!

i do it myself at home!

it´s a bit more complicated than doing it with a regular printer but it´s doable. you basically need to fill a printer with a special ink and print it on special transfer paper. than put that paper into a heat press with the fabric so the pigment gets vaporized and pushed into the fibres!

makeshiftwings has a great tutorial about it on their website

#i don´t really talk about it a lot but i do fully design my patterns from scratch including the designs printed on the fabric #basically if it says “custom printed” in the product description i did it in studio #it´s more work than getting it printed somewhere else and i´m limited in sizes but it´s worth it for being able to controll my own quality #also i´m obsessed with printing on colorful fabrics instead of white whenever i can
