I was at a fabric store today and i was waiting to get fabric cut and this lady and her daughter walked up and asked how to make a pencil pouch i told them about this website and to your project to learn how too.
A friend has asked me to make her something from an old but well loved top and this is just the project I have been looking for- will post pictures when I have made it. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea! The fabric "paper" you buy for this is crazy expensive! This is a much better option!
To people with questions about the ink running...
I have a package of this that I bought from a craft store. The directions for color setting are as follows:
After printing, allow to dry.
Remove paper backing.
Press image with a dry iron, high heat.
Rinse gently in cold water, lay fat to dry. Dab excess water with a paper towel. Do not rub! Finish drying fabric with a dry iron, high heat.
I just printed some patterns. Thank you for the awesome tut!
One idea: all glues I had in handy were too strong and I wouldn't have been able to disattach the paper and the fabric so I made a quick glue from a little water and some sugar, put a thin layer of it on the paper, put the fabric over and let it dry. It is stable yet the disattachment is easy.
Well, I washed the bracelet yesterday by hand, and the colours didn't run or faded. So that's good news ^^
I wouldn't put it in the washing-machine though..
I will put a how-to online for the bracelet soon! =D
Hmm, yea. I made a bracelet of the same fabric I used for this pouch, and it's growing pretty dirty. I am going to put it in the washing-machine one of these days, and then let you know how it went. =)
Think I'm going to iron it first though.. Good idea Laurel!
The fabric that you can buy for inkjet printing is washable so there's no reason why this shouldn't be.
Maybe you can fix the design with a hot iron after it's dry.
Thanks for all the comments and favs!
@ DiannaDIANNAx,
I don't know if the colours will run, but I don't think you should put it in your washing-machine =P
Maybe you can fix it somehow, but I have no idea how xD
Xx
thanks for that how to!
I've always wanted to know how to make a pouch like that!
I think the fabric might break my printer tho, it's really bad... lol/x

Actually, no. A friend gave me a tutorial that mine was based on. But I can see why you think it is, they are exactly the same steps! I shall ask my friend if she maybe used the tutorial from Three Bears.
wooow awesome idea, to use the inkjet printer to make your own design on your fabric. I have done this sometime ago too, and it works great!
like it thank you for the great tute you have made.;-D
Thanks again =)
Obrigada

The idea to cover the seams with nail varnish is great, by the way! I never would have thought of that, it'll be so useful... dank je wel!
