The square dance weekend theme is “Sci-Fi Swing By.” A sleek space craft racing through the Milky Way was my vision, and translating this to a clothing design was challenging. Printing multiple colors is still costly, but going monochromatic was not so interesting. So, printing with the minimum colors on a deep blue background struck…
