Shabby vintage cushion covers..


Cushion covers has been made from lovely light duck egg fabric


The designs I've made myself, using public domain clipart found in the internet and some graphic            from The graphic fairy. Yep , I  used CitraSolv to transfer them onto fabric! Lots of fun!

Never declared my love for CitraSolv before, but now I am! I love it! You can transfer any image
printed with laser printer(only) to virtually anything, furniture, fabric, walls. Don't think it would      work on a glass as you will need porous surface to make it work.




                                    Another design, dressmaker dummy! Graphic here!

You can see how to use CitraSolv for transfers here. I've learnt myself that you need to press hard, really hard to get the ink from images onto the fabric and achieve a proper print! Don't use too much CitraSolv, especially working with very dark and complicated design. Otherwise you will end    up with what I call 'disaster' ! Yeah we all love Miranda! :)


I was sooo exited galloping to my post office with my designs(photocopy machine works as well) that only in a half way I started wondering am even I dressed properly! Shoes?! Checked! Dress?!  Thank God, checked! ..... Couldn't wait to see how my covers will look when finished!
                                                    Stevie! Stevie! Stevie! ....




                              Cushion cover made from natural linen fabric, so rustic!
