We just completed our first print, cut, sew project. It was a simple over the shoulder bag with an art deco pattern in brilliant blues, purples, greens and black. We purchased and downloaded a See & Sew pattern which we then imported into Photoshop. We were then able to fill the pattern pieces we needed to create the bag with the art deco pattern. Once we liked what we saw in photoshop we flattened the image and printed a transfer on our large format sublimation printer. We then sublimated the transfer on to 9oz Hercules polyester fabric.
Pieces were then cut out and the sewing began. We were not crazy how the pattern was put together and would make some changes on the next project, but overall the outcome was fantastic!
How cool to pick any design you like, create your own fabric, create a liner fabric that coordinates with the outside design and produce just what you need to make that one-of-a-kind bag.
The possibilities are endless. We are able to have customers design their own fabric and we will print it for them to sew their own projects. The key is getting the pattern into the computer. If you don’t have a digital pattern, we can print pieces of fabric 36″ x 60″ and you can use regular paper patterns. This process does not give you as much control over matching the patterns in the fabric, but does work to create that one of a kind piece.
