I have been so excited to try out my Silhouette with fabric! For this incredibly simple project I started out with a scrap piece of fabric, a $2 Ikea pillow, and a Clean Cut Fabric Interfacing sheet.
The fabric interfacing iron-on sheet is really large enabling you to do several projects with your Silhouette.
I cut a piece to the size of my scrap fabric and ironed the rough side of the interfacing to the backside of my fabric.
Then I peeled off the backing and placed the material on one of my cutting sheets.
Next, I chose the bird shape I wanted from the Silhouette store (for $.99), sized it to my liking, and printed it out.
You can see that I peeled off the negative leaving the bird on the cutting sheet.
Lastly, I ironed on my bird to my pillow and used washable fabric glue to secure any loose corners. Since my pillow was already intact, I wasn’t able to sew the bird to the pillow; however, with the addition of fabric glue this pillow should do fine in the wash.
From start to finish this project took me less than 20 minutes to complete! So much cuteness with such little effort!
