Plaid Fabric Tutorial
By AllFades
982 Favourites122 Comments44K Views
So I've had a few people ask me how I made Finny's pants, more specifically the plaid fabric the pants were made from. Since my Anchor tutorial seemed to be helpful I decided to do one for making plaid fabric as well.
Hope this helps someone! I'd love to know if it does so I know that the time making this was well spent.
And again if anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I'll respond as soon as I can!
Good luck!
Edit - I forgot the put in the tutorial that you when you paint (kind of obvious so I didn't put it) it's just a thin layer enough to cover the fabric but still be able to see the weave under the layer.

Hello! I may be a little late here but do you have any idea on how I'd make something like this but without using stripes? I need sort of a 'picnic blanket' style but with blue,yellow,white, and orange squares instead of just red and white. I can't find a fabric like this anywhere so I'm assuming I'll have to craft my own, any advice would be wonderful!

Oh yes! You can do the same thing with squares I recently made my own checkerboard print you do it the same way with measuring and taping off the areas to paint. What you should do is color the pattern you want on a piece of paper and then plan out how big you want the squares and then go one color at a time. Otherwise it's about the same
If you need I have pictures of how I did the checkerboard and can put them up for you to see
Let me know! Hope this isn't too late for you sorry!



Hello! I'm glad you can use the info! I used masking tape that you used on walls when painting! I made sure I got the kind that sticks really well though because you'll need to be careful that the paint won't seep under the tape to make your lines wonky. Just get the kind that sticks well and then make sure you press it down well on the edges and you should be fine! You might want to test it first to make sure you can figure it out too!
Hope that helps!


I wanted to do a plait fabric myself, but sadly I don't think we have that kind of fabric paint in our country. v___v
I was thinking bias tape. Lots of it. But since I don't have a working machine, I don't know really.
This looks like a lot of work. I hope it didn't tire you bad. ^^ If I do decide on this, the pleated skirt I need would be easier to do.
Thanks for sharing!
