But I love the primitive LOOK of burlap. I just hate the way it feels, smells and sheds! So I finally broke down and bought a few yards. I quickly hemmed the raw edges - got a rash and a sneeze attack - then washed and dried it 3 times! Huge amounts of lint in the dryer trap, but each time the lint got softer! After the third time, I was able to iron it (cotton setting, water spritz) and then use the transfers. Now I'm a convert. The smell is gone, it feels "tweedy" instead of prickly, and boy does it ever take the detail on those transfers! I also have been buying really great transfer paper from New Millford Photo online, which I highly recommend. Not rubbery, and you can iron on top of it - much better than the transfer sheets you can get at craft or office supply stores.<br /><br />I also finish my pillows with ticking for welting - which makes it easier to sew closed, and adds an addition French touch!<br /><br />Love your blog! : )<br /><br />KathieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120632264663484112.post-30965767232560683952011-01-16T21:50:00.510-06:002011-01-16T21:50:00.510-06:00love the pillows great job. im going to try to tac...love the pillows great job. im going to try to tackle something like these this weekendAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04433658474869391159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120632264663484112.post-34951305226471856472010-03-26T18:43:44.117-05:002010-03-26T18:43:44.117-05:00Ok so you are a life saver.

I love the burlap, I want it everywhere and I want it to look like a old coffee sack or french grain sacks, or all the fun little things everyone is selling on etsy and showing on blogs. I have already got my burlap for pillows and I was making my own stencils. Lol, not an easy task. So where do I get transfer paper and how did you come up with your designs.. Amazing!!! Im lost and I dont want to cut out stencils anymore.. Please help!!!<br /><br />decorcreateur@gmail.comJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11725054787418838590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120632264663484112.post-47902372932845931652010-02-01T09:23:07.424-06:002010-02-01T09:23:07.424-06:00i LOVE these.

I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the computer part of the project, perhaps I'll try to stencil something (I'm in the process of making a burlap runner and was thinking about a monogram or something on the ends.)<br />I'm here from Bloggeritaville, she featured us on the same day.
