Tutorial: DIY printable fabric, plus a free image for a Valentine’s shirt

Heidi from Sew. Craft. Create. shows how to print your own fabric designs on an inkjet printer. I’ve never tried this before (can you believe I don’t own an inkjet printer???), but it seems like it would be a far less expensive alternative to purchased printable fabric sheets. She also shares a free image to make a cute Valentine’s shirt. Note that after she stitches the fabric to the t-shirt, she goes back and heat sets the ink with the iron. Go to the tutorial and the free image.
