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

I have been wanting to make applique onesies for my baby and cute shirts for my daughter. Thanks
I would make t-shirts (boring, I know) with a Cameo and fabric ink starter kit. When my boyfriend finally proposes, I want us to have some clever shirts to wear before/after our wedding (you know, like “Mr. Right” and “Mrs. Always Right”) and for the wedding party.

I absolutely love this pillow!! I am absolutely, absolutely, absolutely terrible at free handing fonts and recently discovered printing words from my computer onto construction paper and cutting them with a exacto knife. Talk about a pain! For Christmas I made my friend a sign for her new apartment…. the stencil itself took 2 hours. The sign was adorable… but lets be honest… a silhouette… wow! I would love to be able to make some really cute curtains and a painted rug for my kitchen and some cute home made wedding gifts for my best friend. What a wonderfully handy tool!
If I were to win a Cameo, the first thing I’d do is cover some hurricane candles with intricately cut designs — I love how these look!

I am absolutely, absolutely, absolutely terrible at free handing fonts! For Christmas I made a sign for my friends new apartment that says “Home Sweet Home” – I discovered I could print from my computer onto construction paper and cut a stencil with an exacto knife. The sign turned out wonderful… but it took 2 and a half hours to cut the stencil. Yikes! I would love to make some really cute curtains and a painted rug for my kitchen. Not to mention some home made wedding gifts for my best friend. What a wonderful tool!
If I won the Silhouette, I would use it to make awesome pillows and crafts for my classroom. I am a third grade teacher with10 furlough days, and I would love to win one of these awesome machines! It would definitely make all of my DIY classroom projects a little quicker. (chuckle,chuckle)
I’d make a quote pillow! or maybe a quote quilt? I just love quotes! and fabric!
