More DIY!

 We are in Christmas planning mode around here.
Y'all, it's only one month away!

In preparation for Countdown to Christmas {starting in SIX days!},
I thought I'd make the little girls somethin' festive to wear:

 

These little tees are super easy to make.

You just need a few different fabric patterns, fusible webbing, a shirt, and iron.

 

 

I cut my pieces the size I wanted the tree to be for each shirt,
then attached my fusible webbing.
I can't recall the brand I used, but that's okay, because I wouldn't recommend it anyway.
The brand I USUALLY use, I couldn't find at JoAnn's the last time I was there.
It's easy peasy to use, and it's called "Steam-A-Seam".
Go buy some!

 

 

I set the iron to cotton/steam, and placed it on top of the fabric and shirt for about 30-40 seconds.
 

 

Attach a bow to the top, and voila!
 

 

I also stitched around it because it finishes it off nicely.

Then I found my model:
 

 

 

 Pretty cute, right?

And the whole thing, from start to finish, took less than 30 minutes!

 

 What kinds of crafty have you been up to?

 

  

 

 

When in doubt, add some felt!

Now that school is out, dance is over, and we have a little more time to ourselves during the day, I've actually found a few minutes for crafting. It doesn't hurt that we've been stuck inside due to all of the rain. But really, I'd trade my crafting in for some sunny days. Sun, come back!

Anyway.

After Kam's camp trailer shirt success, Sierra needed a top to call her own.

This is what we came up with:

I started with a tank from Old Navy and my favorite craft supply, felt :)

I cut a few circles, sewed on a bead here and there.

Added some leaves . . .

And finished it off with some decorative stitching.

Sierra loves it. And I do too. Now Makenna wants one ~ though she wants ladybugs instead of flowers {or was it a butterfly? I'm not sure, she keeps changing her mind ;)} Back to the craft room ;)
