@b15erk that looks great, I'm sure your GD will be delighted with it as is. Black edging would improve it though.

You might be able to do the 'topstitching' on the collar with a sharpie pen.  Just test a scrap of the fabric to make sure it doesn't bleed

Liquitex Fabric Medium turns normal acrylic paint into fabric paint.....

I'm not entirely sure about the longevity with washing etc, but it might be worth a go. I've experimented with it a few times. I suppose you could just use acrylic paints, but the medium seems to keep it from drying out too quickly and also the finished product is less stiff.

I also have fabric paints in crayon format (for my nieces, the messy little darlings). You just iron to set them permanently.
