I recently bought a book, a craft book, a...nuther...craft book, but this one I justified for Anya's B-day pressie in Aug. It has a few cool ideas I thought I could take full advantage of between then and now. One of these 'ideas' is printing onto fabric using your home printer, something I've always wanted to try, but was kinda dubious about blowing my printer up.
What you need:
freezer paper (you can get this from spotlight)
white cotton (quilter's weight type thing)
1 piece of A4 printers paper (as a size guide)
Iron your freezer paper to your fabric without any steam, then using double sided tape, stick your piece of A4 paper to the back of the freezer paper, then trim any excess off your fabric/ freezer paper piece. Find you image, print it on your printer and voi la!
Not too sure on the colour fast situation, but watch this space peeps..
P.S: SHOP update

WOW! Can't wait to hear how it lasts in the machine - but regardless, this is COOL!! Feeling v. inspired... Also, thanks for your comment (Always love comments from you!), and hurrah for some actual time afforded to me in which I may post comments on blogs! Though I suspect this may be the only one I manage, before one of them wakes up...
hehe...bless the new babies! xx
