HAND DRAWN PILLOWCASES
Supplies;
• pillow cases (bought ones or make your own - pillowcases are the perfect beginner sewing project)
• fabric marker or fabric paint
• cardboard
• iron
• pencil (optional)
• paper (optional)
• carbon paper (optional)
• fabric marker or fabric paint
• cardboard
• iron
• pencil (optional)
• paper (optional)
• carbon paper (optional)
Sketch your idea on paper to get an indication of what size will work best on your pillowcase, then work out where you would like your drawing positioned. I have done a rough sketch and will eyeball the positioning, my day job has given me lots of practice at getting things centred.
Next take the cardboard and insert it into your pillowcase between the front and back pieces of fabric. You could use a newspaper or cutting mat instead, the idea is to stop the fabric marker from going through to the back of your pillow.
Draw away until you are finished.
If you are hesitant to draw directly onto your pillowcases, you could transfer your sketched image using carbon paper. The transfer lines will come out in the wash.
Iron your image to set. Finito!
