Years ago there was a product called Liquid Embroidery that was great. It is much better than crayons.
I finally found it thru Herrschners catalog, its the only place that still carries it. They are tubes with ball point pens on the end. They are now called Ball Point Paint and they come in over 30 colors.

If you want to outline the pictures you can get a fabric marker meant to label clothes for camp, school etc. They are defeniately permanent. Some stores sell then in the laundry section.

The Pigma pens are sold at Office Depot and Office Max also.
Not sure about Staples.

be careful if using Sharpies they tend to bleed into the fabric

If you want your daughter to draw pictures that younger ones can color I would go with the fabric pens that most craft and sewing store carry. Just make sure that you tape the fabric down securely on a flat hard surface. :-D

Sharpies might be Ok but practice first.

great idea.

My experience with Sharpies is that they tend to "migrate" into the fabric a little bit, so the edge of the line is not always crisp and clean.

thanks for the idea for a throw for grandpa's birthday gift - grandkids hand prints, names, all kinds of ideas. Add a photo with grandpa here and there. I'm ready to start as soon as I get the pigma pen for the outline.
