Old kilts and HTV

My  first attempt
Silhouette Vinyl on Wool
Silhouette HTV on Cotton

So I have been playing with an old kilt making Silent Auction items for my kids band..... They are having their fundraiser on Saturday evening....

I'm linking up with WIP Wednesday at Freshly Pieced
My first attempt was less than successful.  The vinyl was just garbage.  It was from the silhouette starter kit!   The green HTV I'd used on Sunday looked great, but this looked awful.  I even tried on a piece of white cotton in case it was the wool....  It was better on the cotton, but not really pretty as it was still blotchy :(

Before cutting out of HTV, I cut the piper out of contact paper to ensure the design would cut cleanly.  My husband nicely created this image for me!

Today I called a local supplier and they said to come down to the warehouse.... I got a tour, and talked to 3-4 employees.  I was going to buy some, but then because the minimum order was $50, I asked if they had a sample.   The sample packs were out of black, so one employee went down to the warehouse and got me an end cut.  Got a 22"x20" piece.  Great for testing!

First I tested on cotton, then on wool with a simple design.  This allowed me to test the cutting and how well it adhered to both wool and cotton.

Then I used the test musical note as the backing on a zippered bag.   And cut out and pressed the piper onto the wool.  I will try and make this one into a pillow for Saturday's silent auction!
