Finally feeling crafty again

The crafting bug bit me way back in October, but it has yet to come back to bite again. That is until this weekend. I have always been inspired by my friend Jessica Rowe and her AMAZING designs (check out her blog here). She made the adorable shirt Gabriella wore on her first birthday. I am no where near as talented as her - and my sewing machine skills leave a lot to be desired. So after a few unsuccessful attempts at the darling ribbon shirts that Jessica creates, I found my niche in the ever-so-easy iron on transfer. I printed out the patterns I liked on cardstock, cut them out and traced them onto fabric I picked out. Then I cut them out on the fabric and ironed them on to to very inexpensive solid-colored shirts I got today. I have one more coming for Gabriella, but I need to get a little more fabric. The result - pride, a sense of accomplishment, and homemade shirts for my kiddos that are super cute and very inexpensive. Win, win, win!

From top to bottom, left to right... a dalmatian on black for Oli, a camo star on green for Oli, an argyle butterfly on white for Gabby, a giraffe on gray for Oli, and a pink camo star on pink for Gabby. I can't wait to dress the kids in their coordinating camo print shirts! They look better in real life, but I am so happy with how they turned out. I will be taking orders via email - haha!
