This week I made a Pot Holder with a collage painting a few years ago and one that I love printed on linen cotton fabric. The art is also on a Greeting Card I sell on my etsy shop. Ahh...this one is on sale on the shop!!
The text of the card is in Spanish and I think it was one of my brother's idea.
For the Pot Holder I used part of the art, fixed it in Procreate to make it a square and sent it to the fabric printing company and VOILA!! I added some text on the houses but I didn't like how it showed in the one I am using for the Pot Holder. I fixed it sewing a tiny piece of fabric over the text. The square I used is 6.5" x 6.5" but I wanted to make the pot holder larger adding a green fabric for the back 12" x 12". I created something like a frame by folding and pressing and then stitching the borders to the front and of course adding the loop to hang the pot holder. The Pot Holder also has one 8"x8" piece of batting and two 8"x8" pieces of insulating batting fleece. I am proud of the result... what do you think?
I added the words Love (Amor) and Peace (Paz) writing them with my new Bernina on a piece of fabric and then practice some stitching with free motion.
The other house of the original art is also beautifully printed on linen canvas fabric and you can find it on the ETSY store. Maybe you can make your own pot holder similar to the one I made. I bet you can make yours a lot better than mine!
It makes me very happy to be able to provide lots of my designs printed on fabric through my Etsy shop. Even people from the UK are buying them for their craft projects and I am beyond excited and grateful!!
I hope that I can provide videos showing the process making my crafts. I am buying a camera this week and will be practicing a lot to make it happen. My goal...enjoy the process. It seems that even when I am making something that I like, like the crafts with my fabric, I get stressed out. I noticed that even that I love what I am doing I get stressed out because I am thinking of tons of other things I want to do, ideas, projects ,etc. I am committed to change that because We CAN'T Live In STRESS!!. This is my super short term goal!!
Stay Safe! Enjoy the Ride even during these difficult times!! Time is precious.
From my Heart!
