I decided to show you how to Print on Fabric using "Creating with Vintage Patterns CD"!  The first is a Vintage Collar and the second is a Bangle Cuff.













I've used crocheted flowers and crocheted pieces I found at an antique shoppe.


















At your own risk, here's how to make your own. (Not all printers will feed the fabric).   I used my HP Photosmart printer and it works well.
Step 1
Gather muslin or light cotton fabric, freezer paper, iron, printer and Creating with Vintage Patterns CD.
Step 2
Iron the shiny side of the freezer paper to the "wrong" or back side of the fabric.

Step 3
Cut the ironed fabric piece to measure 8.5 x 11".
Step 4
Place fabric sheet in the printer (Know how your printer feeds your paper.)

Step 5
Using "Creating with Vintage Patterns" CD, print the desired pattern.
Step 6
Remove the freezer paper from the fabric.
Step 7
Cut off the top portion of the printed pattern. Pin to the pre-measured crocheted strip.
Step 8
Sew the fabric pattern to the crocheted strip.
Step 9
Hand sew a crocheted flower and button in the center frame of the pattern.
 For the Bangle Cuff, you'll use the same technique.
