Appliqué...

So I took a chance and taught myself how to appliqué.  It turned out better than I anticipated but still had some rough spots.  My first born turned 3 last week and I wanted to make him a special shirt to wear on his birthday...

I bought a pack of plain t-shirts and went to it.  I used iron on letters for his name because I didn't think I was up to the challenge of sewing around them.  But I cut the number out of fabric and attached it with heat and bond... but it was starting to lift around the edges so I carefully sewed around the edges... and viola!

I have to say that I am proud of myself and can't wait to do more!
