Halloween Shirt- Miss Frankenstein

Pin It

 

I was searching around Pinterest the other day for some cute Halloween shirts.  I came across this little boy one and thought it was a very cute idea.  It’s a Frankenstein shirt for little boys and they had it for sale on Etsy.  Mad saw it and loved it but wanted a girl one so we went through my scraps and she picked out all the material and accessories she wanted to use.  We searched for a plain t-shirt at Wal-mart and finally found one in the boys section.  It was on sale for $4 but when we rang it up it was only one dollar!!!  (if Mad and I wouldn’t have been in the bathroom when my loving man was ringing things up I would have went back and got one in every color!)

So.. we got home, cut out the head, hair and of course we had to add pig tails and a cute girl mouth.  Then she found a ‘M’ bead she had and wanted to add a necklace too it. 
We used heat and bond to help it stay in place so I could zig-zag around it.  She had me add some stitches to the face too.  I think it turned out pretty cute!!  (might change the eyes once we get some different buttons.. these are all we had)

It’s a little bit bigger than I thought and so was the shirt but now she can hopefully year it for a couple of years!  Guess what she wants to wear to school tomorrow!?!  Smile

This is their top…

Repurposed T-shirt Skirt

Pin It

 

 

As you all have noticed I have been doing some sewing lately.  As I was digging though my material I found an old t-shirt of mine that I really like but it was shorter than I liked but Maddie loved it.  I was sitting there debating on whether to cut it or not and Mad was sitting beside me saying, ‘Do it!  Cut it!  Cut it momma!’  So.. I cute it.  I laid it down and just cut under the arms of the shirt.  I just made a casing on the top and for the elastic and that was it.  Since I didn’t cut the bottom I didn’t have to worry about hemming it since it still had the original hem.  It did turn out pretty cute.  She really likes it!

Tiny Hands Turkey shirt

Pin It
I have been wanting to make Mad a turkey shirt for awhile now and I have seen some really cute designs but then I ran across the Tiny Hands Turkey Applique over at Treasures for Tots and I loved that idea!  How simple!  I do this with construction paper with her so why not do it on a shirt?  I have been stocking up on t-shirts from our grocery store.  This weekend they had them 2/$1 so I had to get a few more.  Some of them have a little hole in it or a small stain but that can easily be covered up! 
Here is our cute little Turkey hand shirt.

After using the heat and bond to put everything on I decided to stitch around it to help keep it from coming off.  I just did a normal stitch and this way when I was it and dry it and it frays some it will have that ‘feathery’ look.  lol  Good thing that’s the style now!
Wanna know what I did with the scraps from her hand print?  Come back tomorrow and check it out!

One old shirt, so many possiblities!

Pin It I saved an old shirt that Betty gave me and Maddie wanted a skirt out of it so I made her a skirt.  I hated to just throw the rest away and I wanted to use the sleeves for some leggings.  Since I had already cut up the shirt there wasn't much to use for the top of the leggings so I rummaged around a found some old knit I had and added that to the top of it.  Should have made the top part just a little bigger.  They fit now but might not this winter.  Oh well, got 2 outfits out of something we were just gonna throw away or take to the thrift store so I guess I shouldn't complain.  Now I'm on the hunt for some more long sleeved t-shirts!!  lol
 
  
Just had her put the skirt on over the pants.  I think it's a little much though!!!
