I’m working on a large embroidered collage project and wanted to include one of my daughter’s drawings on it.
I first saw this idea a few years ago and have just been waiting for my daughter to get old enough.
As far as projects go, this one was pretty easy. I had Shelby draw a picture (that says “Shelby” not “by Shel”), then I scanned it in and printed it in mirror image and used a heat transfer pencil to trace over the design and iron it on to my fabric. I find that is far easier than trying to trace directly onto the fabric or on the back of the pattern using a light box.
I stitched over the pattern using the exact colors that she used in her original drawing. I think it turned out well and she’s impressed that her artwork is included on the collage.
Hello! This is really sweet.
Do share the rest of the project too!
Thanks! I will share the rest of the project eventually, but I’m not really far enough along for it to be interesting yet.
You should definitely share the rest of the project, What a sweet idea. I’m not that crafty, but I’m itching to try it. My son’s drawings crack me up. I’d love to make a few of these.
