Kids can transform their drawings from paper to fabric in this clever workshop. Rebecca Ringquist shows you how to draw directly onto fabric, or transfer an existing drawing with special markers, and then use kid-friendly stitches to translate a drawing into a piece of portable décor. Also included are variations on stitches and tips to make this satisfying for little hands.

What fun! I have a drawing my daughter now in her 40s did when she was around 10. I shall transfer it using this method and give it to her as ? a gift. I love the childlike naivety that is produced by this idea.

Love this idea for kid's drawings. It turns them into permanent displays of their creativity. I'm going to use this for a 4-H sewing class!
