Chow motifs

Layla · Post by **Layla** » Tue Dec 09, 2008 4:31 pm

Has anyone ever found any chow chow fabric motifs that can be stitched or ironed onto fabric? I can only find stickers or magnets

I want to make cover a logo on an apron with chows.... hopefully cream & black

Any help gratefully received!

Or if you want your Chows, take some pictures of them buy some iron on transfer paper print it out then iron away

You can get it at any PC store or staples, office mart , any store that sells Printing paper. its usually in the Photo paper section read the instructions carefully. You only get like 10 sheets so you might want to get 2 boxes. Its also best to brighten the colors in the pictures first but no big deal if you don't. The more detailed and color in the picture the better it looks on the material.

Gee Martha Stewart would be proud of me.

What a great idea Layla. I was looking at aprons the other day and man they are high. A chow one would be perfect!!!

My mom did that and made me a purse with my grandson's picture on it. It looked great and will hold up to washing

You could start a new business my friend, producing chow motiff accessories - he he!! Somehow I doubt your artistic skills are up to it though

Anyway what do you need an apron for? Pete does all the cooking

Seriously, ask Mally, that's how she did her chow chow clothes she wore to the show we went to in Melbourne.

Jeff, how do you know about such things? Do you watch martha Stewart?

"Jeff, how do you know about such things? Do you watch Martha Stewart?"

I have only watched Martha Stewart maybe twice in my life and at the most for 10 minutes. I don't know how I know half the things I do. . But it does sound pretty weird when I'm telling woman where to buy cosmetics and cloths and what skin care products to use. Lets just say i'm either observant, I may have been a hooker in a past life or raising a Daughter alone may have opened my mind to the insane world of the female gender.

Yes, you are wierd, but yes, you must be VERY observant!

I have used Iron transfer photos with mixed results. The treat bags I made for CF07 were great. The bandanas for o8 were a pain in the tuckus. The reason? I purchased a different brand. We have a T-shirt shop a block away that does all the high school sweatshirts in the area, and team t-shirts. I can send the owner a photo digitally, or she can scan one and make a transfer on the spot. Pricey, though, for bulk things. Making just one offs is right in line with any store prices.

Flipping cheek! On both accounts! It's not for cooking, its for work

I have a bait apron for the puppies & figured why not have chow on my apron

p.s. If you want to eat Pete's cooking that is entirely YOUR choice my friend. You'll just have to sign a waiver
