Go to youtube and put in drawing on fabric, painting on fabric, etc. I just made 2 blouses dying the fabric with Sharpies following the instructions from a woman who had a booth at the Houston Quilt Show. I heat set the ink and plan on washing by hand. So far no problems.
"also thought about using a paint pen, but I do not know how well they work on fabric as far as lasting through hand washing. " This is what the pens were made for. For this small amount of color, you could use regular acrylic black paint. For a larger area of fabric you would need to add fabric medium to the paint because regular acrylic by itself will dry stiff but nothing will wash it out ever. Fabric medium makes it flexible like the fabric.
