Turkey Shirt

I just had to share with you the little turkey t-shirt I made for my granddaughter to wear on Thanksgiving.

My daughter saw this on Pinterest and asked me if I could make one for Michelle, so of course I said yes.

Here is the pic of the one my daughter pinned from the blog Love From Texas:

Here is my version:

I ironed a piece of Heat & Bond Lite on to a small piece of brown cotton fabric.

I downloaded a turkey cut file from Silhouette Studio and cut the fabric body out with my Cameo. 

I traced the outline of the body on to my shirt, then pinned the ribbon around the outline and sewed the ribbon on with my sewing machine. 

Then I ironed the turkey body on to the shirt, over the ribbon, and reinforced it by sewing around the body with my sewing machine also.

I cut the beak and waddle out of paper, again with my Cameo, and used the paper pieces to trace an outline on my Turkey which I then satin stitched.

I sewed a couple black beads on for eyes.

I can't wait to see it on her!!!!!!!

For today I have a darling shirt you can make for any little girl. I saw a t-shirt like this on Pinterest. This is all you need:

For this shirt I bought a little red long sleeve t-shirt at Walmart for $3.88. I simply cut several strips of ribbon in graduating sizes. I looped a piece of brown ribbon and sewed it on to the shirt for the tree trunk. The other pieces I glued on with fabric glue. For the top of the tree I tied the piece into a bow. Viola a cute Christmas top for next to nothing!!

And here is my sweet little granddaughter wearing her shirt.

Supplies used: T-shirt, Fabri-Tac - Walmart; ribbon - my stash

If you leave a comment on each day you will be entered in the drawing one time for each comment, so you can have up to 12 entries in the drawing.

Skeleton Apron

I found this darling apron fabric panel at Joann's, along with cute coordinating fabric! I just had to get it. The skeleton has a spider on its chest and I thought, wouldn't it be cute if I added some bling and made it look like a sparkly broach. I bought some orange sequins and tiny orange beads and stitched them on. While the apron panel says to just fold under the edges and stitch, I like my aprons to look more finished and hold up better so I backed it with the cute coordinating fabric I found. It also has a three pouch pocket on the front where the hands are, although it is hard to see on the pics. This is the result. I may use it at one of the prizes for my annual Halloween party!
