saraha Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I am working on a craft project and need camouflage fabric that is printed on both sides or all of the way through. I looked at Joannes, Hancock and Hobby Lobby, all have it printed on sides. Does anyone know any online fabric stores I can check out? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy (TX) Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 You might look at fabric.com. You can chat with customer service to find out whether the pattern is double-sided. I'm wondering if it's going to be hard to find? All the woven camo fabric I have in my stash is printed on one side only. Fleece is reversible but probably not what you're looking for for crafting. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarlaS Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've been sewing well over 16 years, and have never seen a print that was on both sides. Even a fleece print has a clear printed side. They can be printed through, but you will still have a definite "right side". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most "reversible" items are lined, not made of fabric with a print on each side. If you share your project/goal, maybe we can brainstorm solutions.

saraha Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 I am making a rag wreath, a wire form tied with strips of fabric 1 1/2 inches wide by 5 inches long. I bought some fabric that was printed on one side and had the leak through on the back, but was mostly white. The white really stands out and takes away from the camouflage look. It was the only camouflage fabric I could find that wasn't fleece. I called the fabric.com place and they didn't have any that wasn't mostly white on the back. I really want to make a camo wreath, so ideas would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Could you just get solid fabrics in those colors? That would give a camo look, I would think. (Off to google rag wreath...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Could you tea dye the fabric to turn the back more tan/brown? That might blend in better than the white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomatHWTK Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I would get some spray adhesive, stick the fabric together with rights sides facing out, and then cut it into strips. Alternatively, you could get a complimentary solid color and back each strip with it. If the two strips stay together well, you might be able to skip the adhesive. Since you are not going to wash this item, you could probably even stick the two strips together using rubber cement or a glue stick. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Good ideas above! There is fabric spray paint. I wonder if you could spray the white side of what you already bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
