Fashion Week with Sharpie UPDATE

I’ve posted earlier how Erica Domesek of P.S. – I Made This totally hooked it up by asking me to cut some of my stencil designs for the Sharpie DIY Fashion booth inside the tents at Fashion Week. Well, I went to the booth today to help out and stencil some stuff. I met the Sharpie people and a ton of fashionistas plowing into the booth to give it a go! Betsy Johnson provided a t-shirt that people also could stencil on. Check out all the pictures!

View from the Bay tv appearance

If you are in the Bay Area, tune into View from the Bay at 3pm today on Channel 7 ABC News. I was honored to tape a segment with energetic host Lisa Quinn in her stunning home. I  showed Lisa how to make t-shirts and more using the stencils from our book.  Not in the Bay area? Well, they also stream the show live on their website here.  Hope you like it!

Create a gradient!

So I have been seeing a lot of these gradient dyed shirts around lately, many which are NOT CHEAP. I like them but I always keep thinking, I could do that! I thought, ok, I’ll dip a shirt in dye but them I thought there is a more controlled way to do this. I used my Stencil1 Sprayers to really get that gradual change in color from dark to light! So I laid down this shirt that is light blue with dark trim. I decided to keep it simple and make the gradient blue as well. Starting at the bottom, I sprayed all along the bottom several layers, then moved upward doing a little less, then up more and even less,etc…Once it dries I will heat seal it with an iron and have a new summer shirt!
