They make fabric crayons. Several brands. Colors are subtle. I used to do pillow cases at childrens' parties with them. Check out Michael's. One of my friends used them to do onesies at a baby shower.

They also have them at the Ben Franklin stores. I love them and have done quite a few. I collelct wine fabrics and they have a great set of wine ones as well as a spice one and flowers and dogs and farm animals and lighthouses and whatever you might want. Do check them out.

I reuse the Aunt Martha's Iron On Transfers several times, and when they are no longer transferable, I buy those tablets of paper that let you make new copies of the pattern, with the special pencils that they also sell, I can use the new copies several times also. So no pattern ever goes unused. My sister has a lot of the old old patterns that our grandmother had, and we have both make copies of them as the patterns were so old the would not transfer to material. You can buy the tablets and pencils at Herrschner's, or sometimes Hobby Lobby may have these items also. Good Luck!

I have a lot of Aunt Martha's embroidery transfers. I use them on tea towels for gifts. My grandchildren pick out flowers or animals and color them with fabric pens onto dish towels and give them to adults as a thank you for something special. I'm also teaching my granddaughters to embroider. I use the transfers for lots of things.
