Reblogged this on Sewcraftyme's Weblog and commented: I've been doing this for years, my Grandma Viola taught me this technique using crayons and a brown paper bag. I use a lot of line art machine embroidery patterns and make coloring books out of them using stabilizer and give them as gifts. You'll find your own favorite way. The main thing to remember is "HAVE FUN" and there is no wrong way if it works and you enjoy it. Ila in Maine

I don’t understand the baking soda / putty comment above. What does the putty do?

I tried using baking soda found it left a mark. It is still on pattern . My mistake .
Used the putty worked much better.

In reply to Bonnie.Hi BonnieThanks so much for stopping by. I have used his technique for tea towels and just like anything washed repeatedly, it will fade to some degree. I haven't heard of a better crayon that won't. I hope this helps,Lorrie

If I want to do this on a tea towels that will be washed a lot is there a better pen/crayon to use so the color stays on? Lovely technique!

Hi Melanie
I’m so glad you stopped by and are using the tutorial! I used 2 strands of floss, although I’m a huge believer in making things ‘our own’ and if you want to use three, I’d certainly suggest following your creative instincts! I typically use most patterns as a guide and often change colors, thread, and floss recommendations to suit my taste.
As of now, I haven’t gotten around to demo any embroidery techniques on the blog but I know there are some good ones on YouTube.
Good luck with your boot!

Hi Katie
I am currently out of stock for this pattern but if you visit the Crabapple Hill Studio, she sells it directly, and you can purchase it there.
