Want to be able to print any item in your closet with Inkodye? When it comes to dark fabrics or detailed designs, sometimes a little creative thinking is required.

For this project, we printed custom Inkodye fabric panels and sewed them onto a jacket to create a precise, high contrast design. The final product is both professional and one-of-a-kind.

Step 1: Used in the Project:

Step 2: Gather

Grab some Inkodye and pick the perfect image. Then find a brush, bowl, scissors, and a good work surface.

Step 3: Prepare Your Negatives

Need some help making negatives? Our Printing Negatives guide has you covered.

Step 4: Pick

This bright jacket seemed like the perfect candidate for a makeover.

Step 5: Print

It’s time to use Inkodye to bring your design to life. If you have questions about the Lumi process, our guide to Printing Photos On Cotton with Inkodye will walk you through the steps.

Step 6: Wash

After printing the rest of your panels, use Inkowash to rinse out any undeveloped dye.

Step 7: Make Pattern

Use thick paper, a pencil, and scissors to shape a pattern for each fabric panel. Make sure the panels are roughly half an inch bigger than needed in each direction.
