How to use Crayons on Fabric For Stitching Projects | Make a Custom Image

Crayons are an inexpensive, easy to aquire, and beautiful art tool for all ages. When we think of crayons, we tend to think of coloring books and paper, but did you know that you can use crayons on fabric?
With a little bit of work, prepping the fabric and then heatsetting the image you can create images to use in stitching projects. Make a custom patch, or create specifically colored images to use in your sewing projects.
Slow stitching is a captivating craft that allows you to immerse yourself in the soothing rhythm of hand-stitching, creating exquisite textile art at your own unhurried pace. In this guide, we will explore the world of slow stitching and provide you with valuable tips and techniques to enhance your "slow stitching" journey.
Understanding the Essence of Slow Stitching
"Slow stitching" is more than just a keyword; it's a mindful and deliberate approach to crafting. This method emphasizes taking your time, enjoying the process, and savoring every stitch. It's about reconnecting with the age-old art of hand embroidery, sashiko, and visible mending. Let's delve deeper into how you can make the most of your slow stitching experience.
Selecting the Right Materials
For successful slow stitching, it's crucial to start with the right materials. Choose fabrics that resonate with your vision, such as soft linens or cozy muslin. When you invest in quality materials, you'll find that the tactile sensation and overall result of your slow stitching project are greatly improved.
Embracing Versatile Stitching Techniques
The versatility of "slow stitching" is one of its greatest strengths. Explore various stitching techniques to bring your creative ideas to life. Whether it's the precision of the backstitch, the simplicity of the running stitch, or the intricate beauty of the chain stitch, each technique offers a unique texture and style to your projects.

    The lady who taught me how to quilt, made a quilt this way. She used white cotton fabric squares, and traced simple coloring book pages on them. Then she had her Sunday School kids do the coloring. She heat set the images, added colorful sashing, and quilted it. It was then raffled off in a fundraiser. It's good to learn how simple this is.

    @@DanielaMellen I was just wondering, if a fabric resist would be a good idea around the images, for kids, or those of us who are less artistically gifted? It would stink to go through all the trouble of prepping the fabric, and have a wayward crayon stroke to ruin the project. I've never worked with a resist, but it sounds promising.

    My dear mother taught me this 73 years ago, though she didn’t have any pigment pens! After my first attempts, which she sewed as dresses for my dolls, we did designs on dish towels and on cloths for the dresser tops. It was so much fun! Gosh, l still love the smell of Crayola Crayons! I did it with my kids, too. Sadly, my granddaughter wasn’t interested at all, she couldn’t sit still for activities other than the tv. Ten years after that her little brother couldn’t pay attention to my brief attempt to explain what l had in mind for us, his mind was on his Xbox and VR. So this simply shows that times change, and not always to the benefit of our abilities and skills.

    The kids are used to getting things faster. Food, entertainment, and with all the gadgets to play with, it's no wonder no one wants to just sit and do one thing over and over. That's boring maybe to this set of youngsters, but I enjoy coloring. I taught art in middle school and using crayons I squeezed as much creativity from my students as I could. There is no medium better than crayons to express your creativity. Prang was the best brand and I recommend you try them. Colors are more vibrant. Thank you for showing this technique. I can't wait to see what I can do. This is going to be fun.

    I made my first quilt using coloring books, a mix of cotton and polyester knit fabrics and Crayola Crayons after seeing a episode on a sewing show in 1996. My nephew and later my niece loved that quilt and refused to give it up .... I would periodically refresh the coloring on it to keep it bright every couple of years..... Last time I saw that quilt the knit fabrics had shredded and I had to patch the quilt but the kids would not let me throw it away.

    Your artwork looks like you are an artist! Your pumpkin and flowers are beautiful with the shading! This really makes me want to try this technique! My mother was a young child in the late 1920’s. Her grandmother brought her muslin scraps from the cotton mill where she worked. Her grandmother then showed her how to take flower designs from the newspaper and trace them onto the fabric. My mother outlined the drawing with a simple stitch in embroidery floss. She then colored in the flowers with crayons. I don’t know the brand. I guess she could have colored them years later. She did not do any shading. I used to enjoy looking at these scraps of fabric with the pretty flowers. When my mother was in her early 70’s, I asked her what she had planned to make with the flowers. She said she had always wanted to make a quilt with green fabric around the blocks. I took them and did just that! I gave it to her for Mother’s Day about 6 months later! She was shocked and overjoyed! She had it on her bed for a while, but it has hung on my wall for about 30 years. I had a good bit of sewing experience, but it was my first quilt. I hand quilted it. It still looks just like it did then.

    Try Dawn dishwashing liquid first - the original blue Dawn - the other scents/colors aren't as good. 20 years ago, I got 3 huge grease spots on my favorite winter pullover. Spent 3 years only wearing it around the house. Made a Home Depot run which resulted in running out to my parents and my mother was genuinely horrified at my shirt being she is severely OCD regarding stains on clothing. She told me to use Dawn, rinse and scrub under warm water then throw in a normal wash. Now, I weekly check for stain, work Dawn in, let sit one hour and stains come out, occasionally requiring a second treatment. You can even put the Dawn on the stain, toss in hamper and wash days later.

I love the way you use sandpaper for traction and that is a genius thing for many other ideas. I enjoyed your video. You are different. I’m an artist not a crafter and I know there is a big difference. I feel crafters love the mess. Glue guns, drippy paints and tearing paper are their excitement. I’m all into the image. Colored pencils or drawing ink but no mess. I don’t do pastels that are dusty and make my fingers messy. Just art drawings with a variety of clean mediums. I love your video. Clean, understandable and beautiful. I will probably subscribe to you today Sunday October the 8,2023.

    Hi🙂 Ten years ago when I first started silk painting we were shown a technique where you iron the silk onto the plastic side of the freezer paper and then you apply the silk dyes or silk paints. Once finished you'd either steam the dyes to heat set or iron heat set the paints. My daughter and I named the technique "watercolor". You could use Derwent's Inktense, but it's a bit more expensive than Crayola Crayons. Nice technique and cute illustrations 😊

    I seem to remember doing a drawing and coloring on paper, or coloring a picture and then color side down iron it onto a piece of cloth. It wasn't as vibrant as yours, but you could add layers of color on top. It's a neat way for children to craft and get something with a bit of polish to the drawing. Wish I'd remembered this when I ran Zoo Camp and we painted T-shirts, those always came out so heavy and awkward because the paint was applied with the heavy hand of a child.
