Mark! You liberated man you! Embroiderin' like that...

Actually I just wanted to add an explanation as to what exactly these are, since several people have asked:
These are iron-on patterns like our grammas used to buy at the dime-store to then embroider their towels by following the lines. These are printed with a special ink that will actually make more than one imprint from the same pattern. So, you can have a row of Tiki Heads on a skirt, towel, or curtain even though there's only one pattern on the sheet....Geddit?

Does it come out in the wash, or does it stay hiding there under the embroidery?

Gramma? My SISTERS used to embroider dishtowels with iron ons. But these, especially the vegas ones, look like prison tattoos.

The ink washes out the first time you put the garment through the laundry.

Before we had these, women (or whoever) bought patterns, poked numberless pinholes in the and scattered ink or dark chalk on the pattern. The dark spots left behnd worked as a rough pattern. This is MUCH better.
