YDC Christmas 2009

I think the only stipulations were that it must be washable and the size: 7" square with the design no bigger than 5" (hope that's right)

I would like to join in as well, although i haven't done anything like this before so god only knows what it will look like. Also i'm not sure of the material i can use to do it on, could someone advice me please.

The ones I've made have either been cotton or polycotton squares. Most of the decoration that I've put on them has been polycotton, but I have also used satin, and felt, and for the wording I've either used wool or thread.

If you need more help or pieces of material to work with, drop me a pm, and I'll see if I can help.

I knew there was something else: if you get stuck you know where to find me!

Ok this is going to sound really thick, but when you say cotton or polycotton, do you mean like cotton bed sheet material

[starlady22]

I do have some material paints (or whatever they are called that i could use on the square

[shezz]

I have all i need




just missing the oomph to get me going

Yes, thats the stuff. They are usually cotton or polycotton. Same as most gents shirts - the type a man would normally wear with a tie.

If you don't have any that you can use for the YDC project, drop me a pm. I have all sorts here.

I bet he'd love you for that..

He's got a ton of shirts that he wears for work, so i'm sure he wouldn't notice if i nicked one, alternatively i'm sure i have a sheet i don't use anymore that i can cut up.
Now i just have to decide what to paint or put on it ?
I'm useless at making decisions so it could take weeks to decide.
