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 would love to make matching/coordinating shirts for my daughters and me!
Oooh I would make sooo much…first I would make cute shirts for my daughters…i would probably buy some plain colored shirts and then have the Cameo cut out little designs like a kitten or a bow or flowers and stencil them on with fabric paint. I have sooo many great ideas. I could even have stencils cut-out and ready to use for the kids at a birthday party and have a craft table set out, then the kids can create their own designs on shirts I provide for them, we can even add some glitz with some jewels…

I would finally finish the stenciled couch pillows I have wanted to finish FOREVER but never had a silhouette to do it with! It would save me from hours of tracing and freehand cutting!!

I would have a hard time deciding what to make first, but I would probably try one of the many pillow ideas I have seen on your site and others. Love it!
