I have set up blocks on my Vandercook in order to print on fabric in the past. I decided to do the same with the patterned blocks. I then used the fabric to create zipper bags. Needless to say, this was loads of fun and I am delighted with the results!
I ink the blocks using a brayer.

Several prints cut and ready to sew. One is all sewn up!
Carved block set into press bed, inked up, and pulling a print on cotton muslin. The blue tape helps me with registering the fabric pieces.
Completed bags ready to sell. Notice that the back of the bags is a commercially printed fabric; they are lined with plain muslin. They are selling quite well and customers use them for a variety of purposes - art supplies, cosmetics, money, etc.
