For the past few weeks I've been a busy bee trying to squeeze in as much crafting time as I could. A few days ago I did this little project that I'm very happy to share with you.
I wanted her to have a personalized outfit for her birthday party, but since it is a one-wear outfit, I didn't want to spend too much on it. That's why I decided to DIY it. I got a pack of plain white shirts and a quarter of a yard of pretty fabric that goes with her birthday theme.
I used some fabric interfacing that I had on hand and cut a square of both the fabric and the interfacing. I ironed them together (rough side of the interfacing facing the fabric) on medium-high and pressed for about 30 seconds until they were bonded together. Then I used my die cutting machine (I have a Silhouette Cameo) to cut a number 1 on the fabric. I simply placed the fabric on the cutting mat (interfacing facing down) and used the cotton fabric setting. If you don't have a die cutting machine you can simply trace the shape you would like to cut (in this case the #1) and just cut it with scissors. Then I proceeded to remove the fabric from the mat, I peeled the interfacing cover and positioned it on the shirt. Once I got it where I wanted it to be, I ironed for 30 seconds again on the same setting and voila!
It was missing something though, so I used one of the itty bitty scraps that were already fused to the interfacing and cut her name using my die cutting machine again.
I followed the same steps and ironed them at the bottom of the number 1.
I love the results! :P It turned out so pretty!!
Now she has a cute shirt for her birthday and it was only around $3.50!!! I call that a win!!
I can't wait to share with you all of the other birthday projects I'm working on!
Besitos,
Marite
