Altered Apron!





I've made a crafting apron! I loved playing with some fabric scraps I had, and an apron is a great blank canvas to have a go at. I chose some bits and bobs (a couple of stamps, pictures etc) and laid them on my printer/copier. I taped some fabric to a piece of card and fed it through on 'copy'. It printed really well. I am not sure it will be waterproof, but that's OK, I am not planning to wash it. I cut out each item, backed it with wadding and a backing fabric and stitched around the edges. My favourite bit is the little brown stamp. It looks so cute padded out :-) For the 'create' part, I used Tim Holtz masks on plain fabric and sprayed dyes over the top. When it was dry I sent it through the printer taped onto card, having put the word 'create' on a word document. My little brooch was from 7 Gypsies, I added the pearls, letter beads, and pin.
Don't forget the crop tomorrow. Fun with angelina fibres .
