So this is how I do it, but I accept no responsibility! First I treat my fabric with Jet Set 2000 so the colours will be fast. Then, after ironing the fabric to within an inch of its life, I attach it to an A4 sticky label which I then put through the printer, fabric side up. You can also buy some pre-prepared cotton or silk which relieves you of all the Jet Set faff, but I do love the texture of the linen!Used-to-Beeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865449943356287351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922046173955540379.post-69700433977078240492011-02-10T18:53:56.980+00:002011-02-10T18:53:56.980+00:00I love how you have scanned & printed the tin ...I love how you have scanned & printed the tin design ( do you use TAP paper ? My printer isn't very good & I haven't had much success )<br />The first yellow tin reminded me that my dad used to get cigrettes in tins & mum used them to keep pins etc in her sewing basket. I've just been looking for beads & bits in some tins I've had sine I was 18 and I have my mum's buttons in the old Quality Street tin.BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922046173955540379.post-12346315200668325252011-02-10T18:51:01.187+00:002011-02-10T18:51:01.187+00:00I'm loving the new look, it's fab!
