As I was looking through my crapacopia of stuff I found that I had no tracing paper or tracing pen. BAH. What to do? That's when Press'n Seal came to my rescue.
I put the press'n seal over a picture I liked. I then outlined it in permanent marker. I picked out a piece of fabric, press'n sealed the design onto it, put in in my embroidery hoop, and got to it.
The nice part about this technique is that you can also do some free hand work and add to simpler designs.
Here's the finished product - I think I'm going to turn him into a hot/cold compress cover.
