There! I think it’s okay aligned. It’s a hand-made sort-of thingy, so it is what it is. Now integrated with the fabric. Actually I think it’s kind of cool! Or, is that a streach..? 😎🦋

Back to the Work Room.

So, let’s finish this up! Let’s make it compleat!

Feeling really old-school now! Since it’s all vintage transfer letters for textile application, they do have to be cut out one-by-one and placed, and then ironed in place!

No computer graphics. No electronic design tool. Just using a ruler and ones eyesight.

Back to the Work Room.

Let’s do this!

At it again… Can there be too many window signs made? (Using vintage frames for my DIY signs.)

First DIY sign ! https://stenmartin.com/2019/01/13/first-diy-sign/ https://stenmartin.com/2019/01/13/first-diy-sign/#respond Sun, 13 Jan 2019 18:59:43 +0000 http://stenmartin.com/?p=880 Remember to share your thoughts below.

Yes! I like it! 👍

A bit irregular and rough, with a vintage feel that could send ones thoughts over to textil and tailoring. I’m glad I made it!

Back to the Work Room.

Monday tomorrow. Weekend over… See you there!

Heating up ! https://stenmartin.com/2019/01/13/heating-up/ https://stenmartin.com/2019/01/13/heating-up/#respond Sun, 13 Jan 2019 13:43:19 +0000 http://stenmartin.com/?p=876 Remember to share your thoughts below.

Heating up the letters to make them stick to the fabric, with some protective paper on top… I choosed to place the cut-out letters in a somewhat rounded and “friendly” fashion.

A letter test https://stenmartin.com/2019/01/13/a-letter-test/ https://stenmartin.com/2019/01/13/a-letter-test/#respond Sun, 13 Jan 2019 11:29:32 +0000 http://stenmartin.com/?p=871 Remember to share your thoughts below.

Before making the sign, I just made a test sample. You never know how vintage things will work, ecpecially if there’s some sort of glue included… But it worked out great!

I choosed a rather coarsely woven fabric, to get the clear effect of a “printed on fabric” look.

Back to the Work Room.

Let’s fo this! 😁😎

Thought I maybe needed a sign in my window…? Well, if so, why not make it oneself, “the textile way”?

Back to the Work Room.

Let’s try it! Right?
