Cameron diggin‘ his shirt:
Cute eh?K here’s a much better tutorial than last time. I have seen tie shirts all over the place and decided to try it two ways:
Supplies: sewing machine :P, t shirts, patterned fabric, heat n bond (for shirt #1), iron, stencil, pen, fabric pins, scissors and cute children to torture with mommy crafts.
Shirt #1
First I drew and cut out a stencil. Then I ironed heat n bond to my patterned fabric and cut out my tie shape.
I pealed the back off of the hnb and ironed my tie to the front of the shirt.
Then I zig zag stitched all the way around the tie. Details later… next shirt….
Shirt #2
I traced my tie stencil onto the back of my patterned fabric. Then I pinned the right side of my patterned fabric to the inside of the front of my shirt.
I sewed a straight stitch along my traced tie and trimmed off excess fabric.
Then I carefully cut out the white portion of my tie, being sure not to cut through the patterned material.
The finished – cut out – tie shirt #2.
Details.
The finished – ironed on – tie shirt #1.
Details.
Both shirts together… I like the cut out look better. What do you think? Oh, p.s. did you notice that I sewed my poor maple leaves upside down? :P
