First I have made some stencils. I have used transparent sheets for ordinary printers. Just marked my design and cut it. Then got some cotton fabric (I have used old curtain) and painted it with fabric paint.
I have tried a few designs + colours, when larger stencil it is easier to use small roller but if design is smaller I have found out that just sticking sponge on top of stencil is more "precise". Also I like to work with fabric medium & emulsion paint better than with fabric paint. It is more "stiff" but painting it is much quicker and less messy.
After painting it let it dry and then iron it on high setting. It will seal the paint in. Then I wash it (just to be sure that paint is not going to run) and dry it & iron it again and then next step is sewing my new homemade cushions.
