I’m a big believer in using fabric as a medium for writing.
I think of paper as just another form of writing and as a medium of expression. That makes it hard to write on fabric, so I have a few tricks I use to write on fabric. All of them are either old-school or are borrowed from my friend and fellow artist, Dan.
The first thing that Dan does is to cover the edges of the fabric with chalkboard paint. This makes it nearly impossible for the paint to smear or smear in all directions. This is also a great trick to take advantage of when writing on your fabric. Not only does it make it difficult to write, but it makes it much easier to write at a lower pressure point, making the lines a lot more readable.
This is something I do quite frequently when I’m trying to get a point across. One of the many ways I do that is with a sharpie. I always do this at the beginning of my sentences, so it’s a way to show myself.
Once again, this is something I do over and over and over again. I just take a Sharpie and draw out lines on my fabric. Its almost a natural thing to do, you draw where you want to be. This is the point where Im trying to explain things to you, so its a good way to do that.
I often get asked a question about how to write on fabric, and in this case it’s specifically on how to write on fabric for a piece of cloth. So lets break that down.
If you’re trying to write on fabric, you are essentially writing on a piece of cloth, which is a type of paper with a pattern drawn on it. This type of fabric writing is really easy to do and really fun. Basically, you just take a piece of fabric (the one you want to write on), and you draw lines on it. These lines will be on the fabric so you can write on it.
I have a lot of friends who are really good at writing on fabric. I have a few friends with really intricate patterns on their fabric, and they’re always surprised when I say I can’t write on it. Well, I’ve found a better way. I put my clothes on, and I let my fingers do the work.
This method has a couple of benefits. You don’t have to use your hands. Also, you don’t have to be on the same level as your pen. You can use any of your fingers, though I think the middle is best. Also, there’s a great chance that your pen will come unstuck from the fabric and you’ll only have one line to write on.
This method is very similar to the one I use when I write on fabric. I wrap my hands around the fabric so theyre touching my fingers where theyre supposed to be, and then I use my fingers to write. I dont have to be on the same level as my pen, and I can use any of my fingers, though I think the middle is best.
