| My kid-lins in their turkey shirts |
I have found dozens of adorable ideas for Thanksgiving shirts for girlies, but not many I really want my son to wear. Until this. I just finished my own version of Positively Splendid's
Butterball Tee. She has instructions on her blog, but it's one of those things you can kinda look at and just do. I used four colors of felt, a rectangle (5 inches by 7 inches) of denim, Heat n' Bond iron on adhesvie and white thread. You can find a template for my shapes
here. (Those are the shapes for the TOP layer...cut about 1/4" around them for the bottom layers.) I totally love it!!!
Now onto my daughter's turkey shirt! Her shirts are loosely based on
this shirt at The Cottage Home, and
this shirt at Embellished Bayou. I made it specifically to match those plaid pants she's wearing! Just used felt for the turkey body, and skinny Ofry ribbon for the feathers.
Both my kids LOVED having a special Turkey shirt (even if my daughter just liked pulling on and trying to chew on the ribbons!).
