I took some of my screen printed fabric and made a flat bottom zipper bag with it:
The screen printed fabric I used for the pouch has a real grungy feeling to it (as opposed to the screen printed fabric I used as the background in these photos). I think that the grungy feeling makes it feel perfect for storing art supplies. It has funky flair but I'm not at all worried about accidentally ruining it with a splash of paint or an uncapped marker. Originally, I was going to use the fabric you see in the background to make the pouch, but then I decided it was too clean and pretty and so I decided to save it for a different kind of project. Back into my stash it goes!
I got a little bit fancier with the zipper than I normally do: I covered the ends. I'm not sure if it makes a difference to anybody but me, but I think it looks nice and neat:
I lined the inside with two different fabrics — one commercial and one sun printed:
It's the perfect size for stashing some art supplies to go!
I also looooove that it has a flat bottom. Bags that can stand on their own are so much more useful for art supplies, don't you think?
BTW, if you're not a sewer, don't feel left out. You can grab a set of pre-made plain white flat bottom bags to decorate!
And if you'd like to learn how to screen print at home with very little mess and almost no equipment, then join me for class online this Sunday. Class is recorded and you will receive a link to the recording to download and keep forever! Sign up HERE.
Thanks for stopping by!

This is beautiful! I love how you combine bold and bright so successfully. I love that you covered the ends…a nice detail. I so wish that I could take your class Sunday, but hopefully the recorded version will be available for non-live participants in future months when I am able to partake in the fun.
Thank you again for all that you do and share! (and please give your son a hug from me 🙂 <3

Hey this is just gorgeous. A friend’s husband and I are having a craft date soon when I finally use my Gelli plates) on fabric and he uses paper. Looking forward to trying some of the many techniques you show here. Over our christmas holidays I plan to buy your gelli printing class.
FYI I just came across Pat Pauly’s art work and thought of you. https://www.patpauly.com/portfolio I love her printed linens which Ariane Zurcher uses for stitch bases.https://arianezurcher.com/

Julie! Love
the colors and bold
prints!! I’ve not tried
any screen printing
but have some foam
stamps that would work
perfectly. Guess I know
what I’ll be doing on
this rainy day in VA.
Thanks for your
generosity in sharing
such inspirational
works with us!!
