Today I experimented my first fabric flower: owww the cuteness!!
I followed the super nicely done tutorial by Pink Paper Peppermints I cannot thank her enough for this gorgeous and easy technique!!
Ok here's my first try.... I didn't have fabric glue so I just used a all-glue and waited..... I think I will make it into a brooch and pair it to a similar colored scarf ^^

Printing Labels with Ink Jet: the beginning
Today I have tried printing labels on a sheet using the tutorial from Elena Fiore - only I encountered a problem when using ink jet printer.
I need to find a way so that the sheet doesn't get dirty from the printing process, and only the printed pattern will appear.
Any suggestion anyone?
Update: I purchased the print to iron paper... and discovered that:
- Epson ink jet printers are better than Canon, that's why I could get the same effect as Elena...
- Print to Iron paper is OK but maybe not the best choice for labels... in fact it seems like plastic and the effect of fabric basically goes away - it's a good way to begin anyway, maybe with some additional stitches the labels can look nicer. I still prefer the direct print on textile.
