I’ve been playing around with printable fabric recently, and have followed with great anticipation Curlypop’s journey to create something beautiful from a piece of fabric that she accidentally printed her Medicare statment on to.

Cam over-printed a scan of one of her beautiful drawings to add more colour to the image, and sewed it up into a handy little pouch for those miscellaneous tissues and aspirin packets that lay around the bottom of every woman’s handbag.

I love the process of turning a mistake into an awesome fashion statement. Cam’s project has inspired me to stop throwing my mistakes into the plastic tub of doom, where projects go to die, and to reinvent them into something completely unexpected.

What do you guys do with accidents and projects gone wrong?

    I wish my accidents had such happy endings :) Apparently I have a whole garage of doom into which various items are flung and never retrieved… Although I have on rare occasions managed to rip up and reuse some fabric failures for my art doll clothing. Does that count? ;)

Hi, I'm FernHi, I'm Fern and CraftBlog is my online home. I live in NSW with my husband and three sons, and spend every moment of my free time with my head buried in some form of creativity. In fact, I've never met a craft I didn't like, although I think I've tried a fair few that probably weren't too keen on me. Want to know more?
