Not Quite a Success

I put this project off until today. I have been secretly working on a summer long sweater knitting project for myself, and this easy project bought me some time to work on my sweater. What I have learned is, just because something is easy doesn't mean that it will turn out. I ironed this onto a shirt that I already had that is 50/50 cotton and poly. I knew that maybe the results wouldn't be the best. The first time I tried to iron the design on from the paper, almost nothing transferred. It looked like a little pink smear. Then I took the crayon and drew directly on the fabric, put a piece of paper over it and ironed it again. It turned out ok. I think my biggest problem with it is that I don't think the texture of how a crayon transfers is right for my design. It comes out looking very sort of airy and smudgy and ... well ... crayon-like. I am sure that there is a project for which fabric crayons are perfect. I am just not sure what it is yet.
