I'm so excited for this latest project. I
 wanted to make these dolls, but making them look like my sketches was 
frustrating me until I got an idea. I painted this fox dolls on 
watercolor paper using the pattern pieces that I made then I scanned them
 onto the computer. Then to print them onto fabric I cut the fabric to 
the size of a piece of paper (8.5x11) as well as a piece of freezer 
paper (paper one side, wax the other). Then I ironed the freezer paper 
(wax down) onto the fabric and ran it through my printer. I think you 
have to make sure that your ink in your printer will work (or just try 
it).
You can buy bubble jet set and 
rinse for your fabric to use before and after printing to set the ink sets and
 you can wash it - I have yet to try it but will in the future.
 His trousers, suspenders, scarf and bowtie are all removable. 
He even has a little handkerchief!
I think in the future I'll make the image darker before printing, it's a little light here.
You can order one here on my etsy site.
 





Genius! He is very cute!
