I took a trip to Muji the other day to buy some plain items that I could stencil. I found these simple pillow cases that I thought would be perfect to stencil a design onto from the new book. I am not sure why I am on such a turquoise kick, but I used it again to paint with! For this project, all you need is fabric paint, a stencil brush, a stencil and a pillowcase. I stenciled a design on each side just to test both out and voila! Check it out.

I felt it important to show you just what you get in the new book so here are some quick pics of the stencils pulled out of their folder. You get 10 precut plastic stencils(in addition to the awesome pictures and how-to’s ! ). Each stencil is large, 11 inches by 11 inches. The black and white pages you see are just inserts between the stencils for you to see the designs. I am about to get all these stencils covered in paint, I am making 200 tote bags! I’ll show that next post. Hope that helps!

I was contacted by the lovely gals who make up Design*Sponge recently to be considered for their sneak peek section of the site. This is where they show you the design interiors of designers. How flattering to be asked! Well, I immediately started cleaning! Luckily, over the last year or two, I have been getting rid of a lot of junk or at least storing it in my studio. Well, I shot the place and pointed out some of my favorite objets and added in a little bit of my design philosophy. They took that and made this wonderful article of it, I hope you like it. Thank you Design*Sponge!

Hugo Boss went DIY for this in-store event they held during Fashion’s Night Out. Stencil1 provided them with orange and black Stencil1 Sprayer fabric spraypaint and cut a custom stencil of their Hugo Boss Orange logo. Customers could make their own custom t-shirts!
