This week as well as printing my final fabrics and wallpapers , i have been taking the fabric of my chairs ready to place my fabric on them for the exhibition.
Overall on Tuesday morning , i printed eight designs on either Oyster Linen and Tudor White Linen. The fabric croquis were printed on Oyster Linen and the designs for the chair were printed on Tudor White Linen.
Below are the images of the Fabric Croquis,

The fabric being printed by the Mimaki.

Once they was printed they had to be steamed and hand washed. To prevent the digital prints from fraying when being washed i had to machine stitch around the digital designs. After washing the fabrics the next day i focused on taking the fabric off the chairs, below are the images of how i took the fabric of the chairs.
