ok, back to my “Snow” sweater pillow, which i absolutely adore!!
sweater + snow= perfect winter craft! i used Silhouette’s Fabric Ink Started Kit to stencil the pillow i made from an old sweater. i really like the fabric ink starter kit. i’ve used it for G-man’s dino shirt and loved how easy it was to work with compared to fabric paints. and the kit has everything you need plus it comes with several free shapes.
have an old sweater or 10? well, here’s a great and very easy craft for them them!
i cut out the stencil with my Cameo and then transferred it to the sweater with the clear transfer sheet.
i mixed together Cian Blue and White fabric ink to create a custom turquoise color.
i then dabbed on the ink with the sponge that is included in the starter kit. the sponge was perfect to apply the ink on the sweater’s texture. allow the ink to dry. {this took longer with the sweater material because it absorbed a lot of ink. i got impatient so i pulled out the hair dryer to speed the process! worked like a charm}
i used a roller foot to sew the pillow to make sure the top and bottom fed through the sewing machine evenly as my sweater was stretchy and slick. but you could use a regular foot as well. i may or may not have just got the roller foot for christmas and wanted to try it out {wink wink}
don’t ya just love a good “sweater texture”? i sure do!!
and in case you forgot, you can get a Silhouette CAMEO and a Fabric Ink Starter Kit for $299! valid thru Jan. 5, 2012. discount code: CRAFT

Just finished updating some rooms in my house and need some new pillows for my lifing room. Would love to have the Cameo to help spice up the pillows!
If I won the first thing I would make are quotes out of vinyl for the walls of my new home.
I have a ton of craft ideas that I would love to start making that would use vinyl cutouts. I finally figured out how everyone is getting these great designs on their craft projects. Now I just need the Silhouette to do them too!

I think one of my first projects i would do with a new silhouette would be some wood blocks and then maybe some scrapbook pages or maybe I’ll try glass etching…on second thought, I would make some 4th of July pillows for my couch…nah, I would make some stationary cards…I can’t really decide what I would do first!
