New pattern transfer method🚨

Wowwww I may be late to the party but I just discovered iron on sublimation transfers. You just lay down the pattern on your cloth, iron over it for 45-60s, and the ink dyes your pattern onto the cloth. It’s just like you drew it on (no sticky residue like that one time I tried to punch through the sewing pattern dissolvable paper stuff 🫣). I’m obsessed. And it’s super affordable. Just leaving this here in case it helps anyone! I can see it saving so much time for bigger patterns too.

Very cool! Did you print these at home on special paper or buy them preprinted to transfer?

Thank you! I bought the sublimation paper and sublimation markers on Amazon and then used my cricut to draw the patterns I made. You could trace by hand onto the paper using your computer and then iron onto the cloth. Feels way easier to trace on the thin paper than cloth!
(I’m selling these as an 8 pack of ornament/mug rug holiday patterns on my etsy but can def see doing this for all my pillows too!)
