Re-Pursposing: Boy’s T-Shirts, Part I

However, I love dressing up my little Mister too……it’s just not as easy as throwing on a ruffle and calling it good though. I have to stretch my brain a bit.

So my mind has been thinking about boys Tshirts.
And ones easy enough for anyone to try.

So, go on and turn that old Tshirt….into a new one.
All with the help of some knit scraps from your stash.
(You don’t have a scrap stash yet? Better get started on that…..)

Who needs a plain ‘ol Tee?

Go on and give it some character……

Don’t worry, they can still play like boys in them.

The inspiration?

Ha ha. This Old Navy tee here.
I know, I didn’t change much or use much creativity with this one. But hat’s because once I saw it, I had to have it. (but not pay for it…..)
My husband has a similar electric guitar and totally wanted our little guy to sport his own.

So I found a guitar to copy here.
Then I drew it on paper, cut it out, traced it onto some knit, and then cut that out. Then I pinned it to the Tshirt and then sewed around the entire guitar. Then I used chalk to draw some of the details on the guitar and then sewed over top of them….being sure to back-stitch at the beginning and end of each line.

That was it.

I did the same thing here…..but just cut strips for the stripes and sewed them on first. Then I cut a little giraffe (no, not a dinosaur) and sewed him on next.

Easy and simple……..just like that.

Perfect.

A few new Tshirts for those rascally boys.
(and okay, this works great for girls too.)

Yes, there will be a couple more styles tomorrow. Stay tuned……..
