Fabric printing a pillow tutorial.

 

Our guest today is Jill at Jaihart.

And she is sharing the ultimate adorable project today!

Get ready to smile! : )

 

 

This will make a great Father’s day gift.

 

I was so happy with the way this picture turned out. I knew I had to do something special with it.

 

 

You will need:

 

-Fabric

-sewing machine

-printer

-freezer paper (you can get this at your grocery store)

-Polyfill

 

Make It:

 

1. First you will cut two pieces of fabric. And a piece of freezer paper to 8 1 2 x 11 in.

 

2. Next you will iron the freezer paper to the fabric. The shiny side of the freezer paper will be down. And you will be ironing the dull side. You won’t need to iron that long. You can stop, and check to see if the freezer paper is attached.

 

3. Once the paper is attached. You will want to put the fabric and freezer paper in your printer. So that you will print on the fabric. The freezer paper is just there so that your printer has something to grab onto. We’re actually tricking our printers to think they’re printing on paper! I know how sneaky!

 

4. Next you will make the pillow. I put the two right sides together. And sewed around the outside. Leaving about a 3 in. gap for me to be able to turn the pillow right sides out.

 

5. Next you will stuff your pillow will polyfill.

 

6. You will sew your pillow shut.

 

7. Enjoy!

 

*This is a decorative pillow. And not meant for playing with or using it to sleep on etc…*

   Hi Jill!

   Your pillow looks great and the photo you chose is adorable! I sometimes wish I could rock all the fun tulle skirts that the little girls I teach wear these days. Where were they when we were little? 🙂

   Congrats on being a Guest Designer!

   “not sure what the name of the fabric is but it was a little thicker material more canvas like. That fabric is all I've used. But I'm sure you could use any white or light colored fabric. Try a scrap piece and see if you like it.” said Jill

    Does the fabric have to be 8 1/2 x 11 as well? Your pillow looks larger. Just trying to figure out how it will pass through my printer without jamming it. 🙂
    Thanks!
