Primark Bag – Monsoon Test

Altered Primark Bag 1
I got a small piece of material and drew a couple patches using the felt pens I used ….. and yes, the colours ran to high heaven, as I had expected, but that was a full on, soaking comparable to a monsoon!  So, not a bag for the Wolverhampton rainy season or for putting my wet swimming trunks in …… just a bit of fun ….. but next time, ….. though the colours are not usually as pretty, I would use proper fabric pens!

    Helen - I got a set of SetaSkrib fabric pens and the colours in those are good. I didn't just want the standard red, blue, green, etc, but this set has got pink, purple, light & dark green, light & dark blue, and so on, so will give a bit of tone. I haven't got round to using them yet though!

    That's right, Marc, it says to set them with an iron. Can't wait.

Thank you for wanting to leave a comment. I HATE verification and apologise for the extra bother it causes, however, if I don't have it I get all sorts of dubious spam added and the comments would be bogged down utter ***p!

Occasionally I get comments on posts from several years ago, again, I have to apologise, copies of TEMPLATES etc. that I once offered are now NO LONGER AVAILABLE, when my last computer died, I lost everything and decided not to replace any them.
