Angie’s Fall & Faded Leaves

Faded Leaves Fabric – new to our online store – is made by Wet-Paint Stenciling - one of the new techniques included in our (soon to arrive) Alabama Studio Style. The fabric was first included in our Fall/Winter 2008 Revolution Collection. At the time, I was looking for new ways to color fabric that did not require dyeing. Faded Leaves was the result and here are a few of the ways that we incorporated it into the collection.

Here is a sample of the fabric before sewing:

Instructions for Faded Leaves can be found in the techniques section of Alabama Studio Style. However, here are a few fabrics that can be made with Faded Leaves and incorporated into your projects.
