Ink for fabric ??

[Inkin One]

I just saw the cutest baby gift idea..stamped onsies. But there weren't any product details..

What do you stamp AND color with on fabric? I know it probably has more staying power if you wash them first...but what do you color with? My husband�s bro & his wife are expecting their 3rd child in March and they already have everything so I thought some stamped onsies would be a cute idea. (She won�t appreciate them TRUST ME...I KNOW) but I will enjoy doing it�

Tsukineko make an ink called Versacraft - it comes in pads and as markers. Just iron it to make it permanent once it has dried on your fabric. I haven't used the markers but I can vouch for the permanence of the ink as I used it to stamp onesies for a friend and they washed just fine.

You're right about it being best to wash the onesies first to get rid of any dressing in the fabric.

Have fun!

Be sure you wash the onsies first...no softener in either the washer or dryer. Press smooth, if necessary. I use Clearsnap Crafters or Ancient Page; heat set when dry. If you color the images, use either a stamping ink suitable for fabric or texile markers...heat set when dry.

I've been stamping on fabric for about 16 years...love it!

I stamped on fabric with Palette inks and had great results with it.
