New T-Shirts

I've been stencilling over the last couple of days, as it's been too hot to knit. This shirt came from Topshop, and I found the stencil on Stencilry.

This one was from New Look, and is nowhere near as orange as the flash would lead you to believe! Stencil also from Stencilry.

If you fancy giving this a go I highly recommend it - just print the stencil onto some card, cut it out and splodge on the fabric paint (I use Dylon which is found in many high street shops) with a sponge. Once it's dry, you just place a cloth on the design and iron over to seal the paint and wash as normal. After washing the paint isn't stiff on the fabric and doesn't fade at all (previous t-shirts I've done have been washed in a normal 40° cycle many times).

Instant gratification!

Mrs Rossy's Hat

I just finished my matching Kureyon hat:

Now I will try to resist the temptation of casting on for other items, until I have completed the second Hourglass sweater. I have to have willpower. I have to be determined. I have to finish that sweater!!!

My sister stayed over this weekend and we had great fun stencilling loads of plain t-shirts that she brought with her. Pictures can be found in the 'stencilling' folder; I shan't add all of them to this post as there's loads but here's a couple:

Sasquatch T-Shirt

Inspired by the 'Office Lummox', I stencilled this t-shirt yesterday:

Am now off to the shops to buy more plain t-shirts.
