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 so many ideas stashed away for the time that I might someday have a silhouette. I had never seen the fabric idea done but that opens so many possibilities! I’m thinking a pillow for our bed that says something simple but sweet. :)

I’d love to win the Silhouette. I think I’d make a valentine’s pillow like the snow one you show above…I’d use the word “Love” with a heart for the “o.”

The first thing I would make would be little brother/big brother shirts for my boys!
I would make ornaments, shirts, pillows, tote bags (and much more) and start on all my birthday/holiday (which is every holiday) goodies! The possibilities are endless with this….. my head is spinning with all the ideas! The Cameo is my dream machine and it would be a wonderful addition to my craft room since I have nothing like this now.

I would love to make stencils for my wall!

I would decorate my new house. Pillows, curtains, towels. Oh and clothes for the kiddies.
I would make loads and loads of monogrammed baby things! Plus I know my husband would go crazy making his own tshirts. He loves really obscure bands and they never have tshirts….so he’d steal my machine just like he steals my trashy magazine when he “buys it for me”.
