You make the cutest things. I love watching creativity at work.

These look really fun. I could even get my 14 yr old granddaughters involved. Thanks for sharing!❤

Lovely!

Wonderful!!

I sometimes make shopping bags for charity and it is good to have a little something to decorate them with. Also it is a good opportunity to practice my embellishments.

I love the cone flower. All of the flowers and butterflies are pretty, but that cone flower is my favorite! Thanks for sharing.

Dear Julia, these ideas are fabulous! Thank you so much! You are so creative & generous for sharing these! 🤗💕✨️

HI, I am using a water-soluble oil pastel. They are a student grade by the brand Portfolio. They are not market for fabric but I have tested them by washing a project and had good results. I only used 100% cotton fabric in a light color. I don't think they would work on darker fabric. Also I always heat set with an iron. This really helps push the color into the fibers. It's fun experimenting with art supplies on fabric. Thanks for watching, Julia amzn.to/3Q3tXhu

Bonjour comme je ne comprends pas tout, est ce que ce sont des pastels à l'huile et est ce qu'on pourra laver la création ensuite sans faire partir les couleurs? Merci de votre réponse 😉

Thank you for sharing. I was wondering about the fabric with the words. Where do you buy?

@stitchesbyjulia

Жыл бұрын

HI. I always shop for fabric with words when I am at different fabric shops. I keep it in my stash for different projects. You can also run fabric through your printer and print phrases. I also stamp words using Archival Ink (permanent and colorfast).

Hi, Here's a video where I've tested different supplies on fabric and then washed it through the washing machine. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h4aIm7uQmqjXlZs.html I had good results. I recommend doing your own tests. Different fiber contents may make a difference. I used only cotton. Also these are not opaque. If you are adding color to a darker fabric you may have to use something else.

Hi and thank you for sharing this project. But I had a question.....how can you iron on felt? I did it once and it singed!...Love your idea....thank you. God Bless

Some felt is made of synthetic fibers and needs a cooler iron. A press cloth may help. There is also wool felt that can handle more heat. Hope this helps.
