Amy Karol of the Angry Chicken blog and author of Bend the Rules Sewing has recently put out a new book under the "Bend the Rules" series called Bend the Rules with Fabric. Having just received it, I can hardly wait to try a few projects myself. From painting, stamping, dyeing, stenciling, photo-transferring (etc.) one is able to make very cool things without too much skill involved. The book includes templates and patterns to help create fun things such as pillowcases (see image below), tee-shirts, pillows, even wall art. There's also an accompanying "Bend the Rules" Gift labels set (with heaps of fun messages such as: "I made this, just so you know. So, don't say anything mean about it."... or "I totally want to get one of these for myself, so let me know if you don't want it.") The book and label set is available through Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Powell's Books and your local bookstore.
