1st Experiment! Super CowGirl Kawaii!!!!

Ok so I just couldnt wait to try some stuff out!  I got some heat n bond from walmart (going forward i will call WM), pulled out some fabric i purchased long ago and 1 of Mia's blank cotton t's from the 99cent store.
I cut out the picture i wanted to attach I didnt use the cricut, just scissors, followed the directions on the heat n bond, and volila, holy cuteness, here are the results.  She LOVES it, wouldnt take it off...Obviously she cant wear this to school without possible expulsion, but i think its rad.

Heat n bond is the coolest stuff i have ever used, far better than any iron-on paper, fabirc is definitely the way to go here.

I stopped at the 99cent store on the way to work and got 10 more shirts to play with over the weekend, I am brimming with inspiration and ideas.  I am going to use the cricut today to cut some more complicated designs.  Will post results!

Adventure is out there, no wait UPS brought it!

Hi, I'm starting this blog to document my new adventure in kids clothing. I've been inspired by the cricut to make my own kids t line using some really cool techniques i've found online.

I chose the name Stinky Beans after my daughter Mia's nickname, I've been calling her that since birth! She will also be my main model.

So I just got my cricut from HSN, a huge bundle with 4 cartridges and I cant wait to start playing with it. Gonna use the fabric applique method.

Using the cartridges, the apps Photoshop, Inkscape, Sure Cuts a Lot and Design Studio, I can basically turn any of my designs into a fabric applique to apply to whatever i want.

My only real goal at first is to sell enough to pay for the cricut, i have a feeling that wont be hard since i got such a good deal on it, and raw materials are relatively cheap for a bargain

hunting ninja like me.

I plan to offer all kids sizes from babies to 6X, including kids plus sizes.

So I will be creating samples this weekend and posting them here! Once I find the designs I love, I will offer them on etsy and ebay and see what the response is :)
