Smart Feeder - Light sensor values

[Couperwife]

I'm going to a sort of fancy dress Halloween virgin vie party (does that make any sense? )

 

So, I've got an orange tshirt that I was to do a Halloween pumpkin pattern on and wear it with black jeans (the lady who's do it is won't expect a full on witchy outfit and would die if I turned up like that )

 

What is the best way of putting the face on the tshirt? Would it be cut out bits of black tshirt fabric? Or black cotton fabric? Do I need to use wonder web stuff on the back of the bits? Do I need to do it like appliqué (that's a weird word to try and spell ) and zigzag all around the edge?

 

I'm sure that someone will come along at some point and know what I am on about

 

Thank you

You could use any kind of black fabric and just iron it on with wondaweb. I wouldn't bother stitching it unless you really wanted to wear it it again and again What about black felt? just thinking the depth of colour may be better than other black fabrics which can be faded, or not very 'black' if you see what I mean.

[Couperwife]

Oooh, felt, I hadn't thought of that.

 

Thanks snowy

 

(I knew someone would be here that knew what I meant )

you can get transfer sheets that you print your chosen image on (in reverse - there are settings on your printer specifically for this) and then iron it onto the tshirt. I was a bit dubious about these sheets by my DS did one for a school project and its quite impressive. We used a transfer sheet from Asda, so it doesn't need to be a pricey one

[Couperwife]

Oooh, another idea! I'll look into that one too, thank you.

.........I have some t shirt transfer paper for black tee shirts here, so if you wanted to do it next weekend when you're here anyway, you would be most welcome....other option is fabric paints (which I also have!!)

[Couperwife]

I can bring my stuff down and we can see what is the best option

 

Thank you.
