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

Hmmm, for what WOULDN’T I use it?! A few things for which I’ve found myself with the need of such a tool: I would love to be able to cut stencils of fancy old-fashioned lace for use on my wife’s clothing and other craft projects; I could make custom font stencils (I think?) for use in making personalized canvas creations to decorate our houses and those of our friends; it would be a BIG help in helping my wife bring her ideas for patterns for various crafts to life. I have so many other things in mind for which I’d use this awesome machine, but I think you get the idea! :)
I subscribed to email updates :)
I would LOVE to win this as I have wanted one ever since I saw people posting about it. Can’t afford it right now but would be amazing to have for my business. I could share all my ideas with my readers! I would make all kinds of things with it – I am sure the ideas are endless! Thanks for the chance! =)
