Melbourne Frocktails Archives - Two Sewing Sisters

We’ve had a vision of painting fabric for a couple of years now, and Melbourne Frocktails was the perfect excuse to embrace our creative vision!

Erin wanted to create an off-the-shoulder look with a full skirt for this fabric. We landed on McCall’s 8282 as our base using view B. This pattern was provided by Sewdirect Australia and is available here.

Fabric: Hand Painted

For this vision, we started with a white cotton drill which we purchased from Spotlight. We selected our colour pallette of fabric paints and combined some colours to give a vibrant tone. To make sure we didn’t paint extra fabric and waste painted fabric we cut the fabric first. This also allowed us to consider the placement of the paint and colour balance. We nervously set about stamping the fabric. Check out the video.
