Shirts for the little ladies...

As a kid I always hated the fact that my mom dressed me and my sister the exact same, but as an adult I would see pics of siblings in coordinating outfits and think how cute they were... I am sure when my Mom sees the girls dressed in coordinating outfits I will get a little flack, all in good fun of course...

Here was my problem I needed clothes in 2 totally different sizes, and I could not find anything to do the trick...

So I made my own, they are a work in progress but i will attempt them again; the technique? reverse applique...Overall I am pretty happy with the end result...

What do you think?




I would love to share a pic of the girls in them but like a fool our first outing in them was berry picking and they did not fair so well so they are in the wash... lol


The technique was easy I printed the letters off of the computer so I could get the sizes I needed.. Smaller for the K than the O to fit the shirts better...

I then drew them on the BACK of my printed fabric..I had to do the K backwards for it to show the right way on the finished product.. ( learned the hard way...lol). I cut these out leaving about 1/2 fabric around the letters and then pined them to the inside of the shirt..I sewed right on my traced lines.. A small stitch worked best...

Then turned the shirt with the right side out and very carefully cut just the white shirt away.. my scissors were not quite small enough so this step is a little messier than I would have liked...
