Here's a couple of ideas using 2 of their DIES!

Tear Drop Top

Refashion a plain tshirt into a statement "look at me" addition to your wardrobe. This design is great for women or girls too! With the Accuquilt GO! Baby cutting machine it only takes a few moments to cut the fabric and be ready to go!

Accuquilt GO! feathers cutting die

4 - 7 different fabrics in a gradient color scheme

iron on fabric adhesive

1 t-shirt

sewing machine

iron

Step 1: Choose your fabrics and apply the iron on fabric adhesive to the back. Place the fabrics on the cutting machine and cut out several of the straight feather shapes. (not the curved ones)

(I cut 7 of my darkest color, 4 medium color, 3 lighter, 3 of the lightest)

 Step 2: Arrange the feather or tear drop shapes around the neckline of the t-shirt with the darkest color at the top. Place the the medium color next in between the placement of the others and so on with the additional colors.  Space them as tight or as far apart as you'd like. Peel off the paper backing of the adhesive and iron into place.

Step 3: Sew around the feather shape to secure each piece into place. And you are done! Enjoy wearing your original, trendy and colorful top!

Dotted Embellished Tote bag

Don't settle for a plain ol' tote bag. Express your personal style through pattern and color! The Accuquilt GO! baby cutting machine helped me transform this plain tote into something eye catching and fun to use! And it only took a few minutes!

Circle fabric cutting die

2 different fabrics

plain tote bag (or back pack! A great way to spruce up your childs back pack for school!)

Step 1: Cut out 2 circles of each size from both fabrics. You will end of with 4 large circles (2 from each fabric), 4 medium circles (2 from each fabric) and 4 small circles (2 from each fabric).

Step 2: Layer the circles on top of each other largest on the bottom and smallest on top. Place the circles off to one side. Sew the 2 smaller circles to the larger one.

Step 3: Place the circles onto the tote bag in any pattern you would like. Cut off some of the edge of a circle or two to make it look like it is coming from off the side.

Step 4: Sew the circles into place. You only need to stitch around the largest circle because your smaller circles are already sewn. DONE! Enjoy "toteing" around your goodies, crafty projects, book, etc in a tote designed by you!
