Applique T-shirt
In anticipation for my son's upcoming birthday, I made him his own personalized applique t-shirt.
Supplies:
Pattern for whatever you want to applique (I made mine out of cardstock)
Fabric
Felt
Heat-and-bond
Iron
Sewing machine
1) Create pattern out of cardstock for whatever you want to applique
2) Decide what material you want to use for your applique pieces - I chose fabric for the basketball and stripes, and felt for the number 2
3) Iron heat-and-bond to material pieces (don't pre-cut the pieces yet)
4) Trace pattern pieces on back of heat-and-bond paper
5) Cut out the traced pieces
6) Iron first piece onto t-shirt
7) Sew a zig-zag stitch around the edges of the ironed fabric piece to secure in place
8) Repeat steps 6 and 7 until all the pieces are ironed and sewn onto the t-shirt. (I found it easier to iron and then sew each piece separately rather than iron everything and try to stitch around it all)
