You can print your own fabric at home,
and the results are worth the effort and
time commitment. You can also work with
gorgeous screen-printed fabric made by
contemporary fi ber artists such as the four
artisans profi led in the following pages.
These artists have made screen-printed
fabrics their business, and create sought-
after cloth for a community of sewists
who value handmade graphic prints.
