Birthday shirt

My kids have pretty much always had some kind of birthday shirt. I'm trying to live a bit more frugally, so I skipped the Gymboree option this year. (Plus, I don't really care for camo on kids. So much for the move to Idaho).

This year's shirt is from a Hane's 5 pack. It's a bit thin, but the price was right. And I needed two of the rest of the pack for practice. The fabric is from my stash, and I used the purple iron on adhesive that the lady at Hancock recommended. Then I used my buttonhole stitch on my Bernina all the way around.

It turned out very cute, and I'll definitely be doing this again!

Is it possible for me to craft a "35" shirt to wear on my next birthday without looking like a football player? This is adorable. Nice work, Kathleen!

This is so cute! That's a really great idea. I think it's even cuter than Gymboree.

Deirdre, I think if you craft in curvy letters, it wouldn't look football-y. Maybe quill-pen-ish letters. Girl, that would be wicked awesome.
