T shirt applique

Hey we are back!!! Its been a crazy week and I'm ready to do some more crafting. I had Chantels' little boy Beck for a couple of weeks and he actually got me to do some projects for him! He wanted a rag quilt, Cause I "supposedly" made one for everyone but him and he wanted a monster guy for his friend 'Lumpy' (another monster guy). I'll show pics of those projects later but on to this one.


Over the weekend I made an appliqued ladybug tshirt for my niece Emery. (sorry no pic, I'll get Chan to put one up) Beck wanted one but with a guitar. I found a design on a blog I frequent. But I forgot which one! OOPS sorry. Let me know if you, our AWESOME 9 followers, happen to know whose blog this was on! (on a side note note: I LOVE that we have nine followers!! I was surprised that we even got that many! SO Thank you all for joining our crazy craft world!) Anyways.....



Walmart has these tshirts for 2.00. 2.00 PEOPLE!!! Hello buy as many as you can for gifts!! Can you imagine the possibities you can do with these shirts!!! OK again sorry. Beck picked this green and I had some leopard fabric.

I drew out a guitar and cut it out of the leopord fabric. You can iron on fusible backing for stability. I didnt like using it, I didn't want the stiffness and I don't like the goopiness on my sewing machine. Pin up really good!

Sew a 1/4 inch around the guitar.

On the second go round I sewed it really crazy like. I wanted the sloppy look.



Now on all guitars you have to have what they call 'in the biz' pickups and volume controls. sew them buggers on.

there you have it!! So cute and stylish! I hope he loves it! He is five and has his own set of drums, and even a band named 'Fireghost'! He's awesome and has the best imagination!

Thanks for stopping and we will talk to ya later!
