| Sharpie markers on light colored fabric |
I just got a used sewing machine and am chomping at the bit to use it to make some new projects... but wanted to practise a bit first since it has been aeons since I have sewed anything. So... I got out some old fabric squares in which I had some kids do what was to be a prayer banner... but it didn't go that far. I know, I was disappointed too. :) I did decide I would revive these fabric scribbled squares and use them for my next project if all goes well.
Since some of the fabric still had quite a bit of white on them, I decided to first do an alcohol and sharpie marker tie-dye kind of thing on them. I'll explain in case you haven't done that before....
Part I
rubbing alcohol and sharpie marker tie-dye on fabric
1. draw, write, scribble with any color sharpie markers on a light colored fabric.
2. spritz the fabric with rubbing alcohol3. twist, and then tie the fabric and let sit - preferably for a while. Mine sat for a few years but probably a couple hours works fine too. :)

| Tie-dye effect from sharpie markers |
You can see in the photo above that the rubbing alcohol makes the sharpie marker run and spread. When you twist and tie the fabric it gives a tie-dyed effect. The more marker the brighter and vivid the effect.
