WEDDING PILLOW

My little brother got married last weekend.  I made him this subway art pillow for a wedding present. I had so much fun making this pillow.  I used Fabric Ink for their names, Glitter Heat Transfer Material for the temple and hearts, black Heat Transfer Material for the other words, and Rhinestones for "love".  I love mixing media!  I love this pillow so much that I may just make one for myself too.

Coat Makeover

So I have had this coat for years now, probably 6-7 years.  I hardly ever wear it because it doesn't quite feel like me.  I love colorful fun clothes and a typical brown trench coat doesn't quite fit the bill.

So I had the idea to do a complete makeover.  I used some RIT color remover to start with a clean slate. Here is a picture of this step.  (Sorry this shot is from my phone, I didn't know I'd be blogging it when I took the picture.)

After I removed the dye I decided to dye the coat with teal RIT dye, and switch out the buttons for something a little more playful.  And to put my true stamp on the coat I designed a pattern on my Silhouette CAMEO and used Silhouette Fabric Ink to make it come to life.  I'll do a tutorial next time I use fabric ink so you can see the process.

This is how my coat turned out.  I LOVE it now!!!  It definitely has a little Amy flair now.  :)
