Inspiration: Sharpie Prints

September, the most confusing month of the year. For me this is an ambiguous time, I'm not sure whether it is Summer or Fall. So I think that September should be its own season, a season dedicated to prints. I absolutely love prints, especially when they are not perfect but a little crooked in a charming way.

These photos will hopefully make you want go search for those heavenly sharpies you have hidden somewhere around you and scribble out a beautiful print on that incredibly boring dress that you don't know what to do with. Have fun!

DIY Fabric Printing

These DIY(s) were inspired by a wide range of African prints and since fashionista.com did a post on  the upcoming African designers I thought this would be a perfect time to also share some of those designers with you all that I loved.

The following DIY(s) were mainly inspired by these bold prints which made me want to do some fabric printing, an easy way to update those solids and pastels for the upcoming spring/summer season.

Stuff you need:

Fabric paint

Basically anything you can use to print. I used a cotton bud, a felt butterfly and a homemade cardboard stamp.

Use your printing supplies and fabric paint to print on whatever fabric.

It's fun and looks great.
