Another shirt + bibs

[emoflamingo]

I finished this shirt for my niece the other day:



Also, I made these for the impending arrival:



I can't remember where I got the template for the bibs, but I used flannel + quilt batting + terry for the truck one (which was too much, you could totally use just flannel and terry) and then cotton + quilt batting + flannel for the K-State one. I actually made 2 of the truck ones, considering selling the other. I have a whole stack of fabrics to use for bibs and burp cloths because the ones they sell in the store are crap and don't absorb much at all.

The K-state fabric is adorable. I wish my appliques turned out that well!

Just takes practice, angie! I draw my own and go very very slow lol. I also try and match the thread as close as possible to the fabric to try to not draw a lot of attention to my stitching. Easy for solids, not so much for patterns!

Nice. I really like the shirt.

mountainlove, I ironed fabric onto Heat & Bond Lite (Lite is important!) and then cut out the shapes I needed. I draw my own appliques on the computer so I can reprint them over and over. Then, I iron them on where I want it and zig zag around the edge. This shirt was particularly "fun" because the coral fabric had green dots, so I had to do a rough cut of the shape I needed to find where I could avoid the green dots. Unfortunately, it was the only coral colored fabric I could find at 2 JoAnn's, 2 Hobby Lobby's and 2 different LQS in 3 cities lol.
