I heart...

sulky pens!


they're great for transferring images for embroidery, or just to transfer accordion images onto thrifted t-shirts because you want to make something fast & easy over the weekend :)

p.s. happy birthday wendi!

Fun and cute idea! Don't use Oxyclean to wash that shirt, though... :)

Love that design! Any chance we can get as one of the freebies? If not I'd love to know where I can get my own.

The shirt is adorable. Do tell - how'd you do it? Is it wash safe? Details woman!!!!!

giddy99 - thanks for the advice! I figured it would fade over time with regular washing {which I think will add to it's vintage charm} but I'm glad you mentioned about using anything other than detergent - I will be extra careful :)

melissa - I found the image just doing a google search for accordion clip-art, I don't have the link but it should be pretty easy to find. if you can't let me know.

thanks Laura-IH!

Becky - I just used a sulky pen to draw the image in reverse onto regular printer paper than ironed it onto the t-shirt. I am taking the extra precaution of washing the t-shirts I use sulky pens on separate from other clothes just in case but yes, it's washer safe - although it does fade. let me know if you have any other questions & I will try to answer them :)
