felt shape t-shirt tutorial.

i saw a shirt like this on etsy and knew my son had to have one for his birthday.  it was $20.  that's insanely overpriced!  i knew i could make it for WAY less...how about making it for $5.20?  yes!  i found the gray t-shirt at H&M for $5, had the felt already, and bought the crochet thread at JoAnn Fabrics for $0.20.  then i made up the rest.  oh and you better believe that his sister will have a matching onesie that will involve pink and rhinestones...just sayin'.

i free-handed the stencil which is why it didn't come out perfect but I actually like that it didn't...gives the shirt some "personality" :)

Pennant Banner Tutorial.

i love these pennant banners and they are all over blog land.  i made up a REALLY simple way to create your  own!  To make 4 six-foot banners I used 4 different fabrics, a quarter of a yard each.

Step 1: Make a triangle  "stencil" using cardstock.

You can see another banner in my apples and pinecones post.
