    Captain America - First Avenger

    I started experimenting with printable fabric, and here are the first results:



    My sewing skills leave much to be desired, and I have to adjust the pattern some to compensate for the fabric, which does not stretch at all, but so far it looks promising.

    Good job! I started with that same stuff and was having issues with it printing too light for me. There are various fabrics and even machines out there now that I am looking into but this is really good starts. Nice job!!

          Looks good for a starter, what brand of printer do you have? Your suit design looks great!

            looks pretty cool, I eventually want to tackle the movie look too.

                  Thanks, I'm using an HP 1220 inkjet printer. I need to find a better helmet, but this was all I had on hand for now.

                      Can you get printable fabric at office supply stores like Office Depot? Also, are you just using regular inkjet ink or a special kind?

                        I like him, definitely has charm. The visor is a slight nod to the 70s movie too.

                          I don't know if the office supply stores carry the fabric, but I've seen it at craft stores like Michaels and Joanne Fabric, and it's for use with regular inkjet printers.
