Back-to-School Shirt #1
This simple little project had been on my list for weeks. Last weekend I finally tackled it. SO EASY - and I love the finished result. Char of Crap I've Made has a great applique tutorial. For me it was WonderUnder and machine sewing. That's it. Fabric is from Valori Well's Nest collection for Free Spirit. T-shirt is from Target - I think I got it for $4 on sale. Nice.
The shirt received rave reviews from the 6th Grade Girls, which is even more validating than 1,000 blog comments.

A very sweet shirt! It's nice to know that it wasn't too hard, I might have to give it a try sometime.

Ha ha ha, I know exactly what you mean about 6th grade girls vs. 1000 blog comments. Oh boy, I wouldn't go back to 6th grade if you PAID me!<br /><br />This shirt looks great! I love that it's pretty easy to do but makes a big impact.

Love it! My daughter loves appliqued t-shirts I've made her but she's only 6. A 6th grade girl loving it? Nice work, mom!<br /><br />Jennifer 🙂

That's a really good way to personalize a t-shirt. Pretty cool.

That's just adorable!!

Nothing like a bit of praise from friends to realise Mum is very hip (and ahead of the trends). LOL. It looks lovely and am so glad your daughter loves it.
Andrea
compliments from school girls are definitely the best!

I love the applique! Very pretty. I'm going to want to try that.<br /><br />I used some of the half-off fabric from the DB sale and made a tunic for my 5th grader this week that she got lots of compliments on. <a href="https://myimaginaryblog.wordpress.com/2010/09/10/it-feels-like-a-small-miracle-when-i-find-some-time-to-sew/" rel="nofollow">Here's a link.</a>

Very pretty! And if the 6th graders like it you are practically Wonder Woman.
