To keep the record straight, this is not My tutorial. I found it online and thought it would be helpful for all of us here - so I'm just sharing. I was trying to quote the creator and give them credit, but I'll be darned if I can find it again...(been looking since yesterday in my history but can't find it)

Thanks so much as I will have my GD here the whole month of July and since I bought her a sewing machine last summer we will use this time together to sew. She is only 8 but she is very interested in learning how to use her machine, her mom has not had time to show her. I just might have to get her started on her own little quilt project.

Thank again because she LOVES to color as well and this will only make it more special for her.

However never put colored fabric in dryer! I colored the picture, then transfered to fabric. Has held up pretty well.

My time

Buying a big box of crayons next time I do to town. Thanks for sharing your great tutorial.

Our charity group tried the Crayola brand and after a few washings it washed out. We found Prang and RoseArt brands work the best for us. We haven't had any problems with fading when we heat set them.

Where did you find the Prang brand of crayons??

donnalynett

Staples.

SewExtremeSeams

Amazon carries both brands. :-D

It just ocurred to me that when you were talking about the crayons, this could be the beginning of a batik. Has anyone ever tried to do batik with crayons? With traditional batiks, you paint with wax on a light colored fabric, then dye the whole thing, paint (draw) some more wax on then dye with the next darker color of dye. It seems like the crayon wax would act as a "resist" and at least partially block the dye.

Thanks for the tutorial, it is definitely going to get book marked!
