Little Boy's Patriotic T-Shirt

This was a fun t-shirt to make, and I had to make it for my little guy before the baby comes. Instead of a FLAG shirt, we used some patriotic fabric we had on hand, and bought a t-shirt at Wal-mart for about $3. He loves semi-trucks and Mac-trucks, so we made a truck using very simple shapes. After -pre-washing the t-shirt (very important to do when doing applique) Using some iron-on pellon, we attached the shapes to make the truck, and then I just stitched around it. (my sewing isn't perfect-but oh well.) The fabric will probably fray a little when washed but that is o.k. with me. ☻ Older kids could make their own design for a t-shirt. I have plans to make some more of these- an airplane, a train, etc. Maybe we'll make one for each holiday this year! If you try this, watch out, applique can be addicting! :)
