Jen Hewett walks you through the process of screen printing from start to finish, and then shares how to sew a clutch from your custom-printed fabric. You will learn how to make four different print designs on a screen and how to print your fabric using a variety of two-color print combinations. Once you’ve custom-printed your own fabric, take it to the sewing machine to construct a simple, bold clutch using a patchwork technique—a great way to showcase all of your fabric designs on one accessory.

Once again Jen is easy to understand and follow. I like her tips and techniques. The 2-color screen-printed designs are easiest for beginners and they are very artsy.

I do love silk printing! this was a fun and so inspiring class. I want so much to start playing with this technique, hopefully this won´t be so hard to do it at home? Thank you so much for a clear explanation of every step of the process.
