What you do is you get a large roll of paper. You start drawing and coloring. I am sure I used some coloring book pictures. Once you have your roll of paper covered and you are happy with it, you take it to the ironing board where you have washed, dried and ironed the fabric you want to use for your project, then you turn your designed paper face down on your cloth and press your images onto your fabric. It is easy just a bit time consuming. It does take patience and a trial run would be advised. Other than that it is pretty simple. Once you have your fabric covered, you cut our your pattern and sew it together. I picked a more difficult dress pattern but there are some really simple "Kwik" patterns that would work just as well. Try it! It is really fun. Could even do a pillow case or something less difficult.
