I saw this really cute boy's t-shirt in the Chasing Fireflies catalog this spring. Timothy loves pirates so I knew he'd like it but I can't pay $34 for a t-shirt! So I stuck the picture on my inspiration board and finally did something about it!
Here is my little pirate! I got the t-shirt at Target for $4.00. I used Kona solids and Steam a Seam Lite fusible web and appliqued my sketched version of the pirate image. I'm really happy with the way it came out and the savings too of course! I do wish I had done this earlier in the summer but I think it is big enough for next year, he can layer it in the fall, and this way it isn't stained for school!
Have him wear a plaid flannel shirt over it, but open. Very pirate like! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! He looks very happy about it. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I wouldn't spend $34 on a shirt for me, and I'm not growing anymore! :-) You did a great job on this - such a fun shirt!
ReplyDeleteI'm officially jealous of you applique skills. I gave it a shot today but couldn't find my open-toe foot . . . now I know why you need one!
he looks pretty happy with that piraty creation!
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I thought was you did your freezer paper stenciling again but wow...applique....amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThat's the first thing I thought too - stenciling. I love it, it's great and he looks totally happy in it.
