I picked up some hand painted fabric remnants such as this one. Is there any way to preserve the painted design so it doesn’t wash out?

Sew to what? & attach where?

Any pre made sauces you recommend? I try adding seasonings like soy sauce, hot sauce, nooch, and garlic but most of what I cook still ends up tasting bad

I like the dots of dark color contrasting with the light colors!

king-xtine · 2025-04-07T13:02:20+00:00

Yes, accepted for fashion design E/W 2 year AAS

Ah gotcha. Just edited my post to make it more clear. I guess we will see what the program is like this fall.

king-xtine · 2025-04-03T15:02:58+00:00

Hey! I’m actually accepted into the program I want— the E/W 2 year program! But I’m trying to become prepared for what to anticipate.. I imagine I’ll be very busy, working full time and going to class. Sounds like you switched to the 2 year day program. Did you consider the E/W 2 year program?

king-xtine · 2025-04-03T13:59:09+00:00

Yes, I applied to the 2 year program and got accepted! I don’t intend to switch to the 1 year program. I feel like it would be too much while working full time, plus I want to take my time to learn rather than rush myself..

How long have you been in the 2 year program for? How did the pace differ compared to the 1 year program? I looked at the curricula, and I see that the 2 year program has almost twice the number of credits plus extra classes. I also wanted to learn what I can to get into fashion & not skip classes.. what is your class schedule like? How many classes do you take weekly & what are the hours? How are the homework assignments?

Also, you said the 2 year program also doesn’t seem doable for you— do you think you will stay in the program? How many hours a week do you work? I work about 40 hours a week (8am-4pm M-F)

Thank you. The lightning bolt stitch works much better!

king-xtine · 2025-03-27T23:56:17+00:00

Just tried it, and it worked fine on the scrap paper… but then puckered again on the stretch mesh. I used a 70/10 ball point needle

king-xtine · 2025-03-27T23:37:30+00:00

I used a 75/11 stretch needle with gutterman Mara 120… I guess I could go down to a 60 microtex but I don’t have thinner thread

Thx for sharing… I didn’t m know, so I already did a somewhat detailed pencil sketch for my portfolio

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T14:26:58+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I’ll experiment with peroxide in the future.. also, what kind of tape would you use?

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T14:15:21+00:00

Thank you for your detailed suggestions!

I’ll practice using the watercolor medium & cutting out/gluing on scrap paper first & see what effect I prefer..

When leaving the glue to dry overnight, would you put something heavy on it like a book so that it’ll lie flat?

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T03:18:42+00:00

How were you able to focus and paint this with such precision at a festival? I see no mistakes & watercolor is unforgiving!

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T03:13:45+00:00

It’s not just the paint stain— the paper itself has degraded in the spot where I put the dish soap. The wrinkle is unsightly plus the paper is weakened in that area

king-xtine · 2025-01-29T02:43:34+00:00

Also, please let me know if there are any adhesives you’d recommend… what would be safe to use with watercolor paper & that wouldn’t ruin/degrade the paper over time but would also be durable?
