I Made it in March....First Item!

So, I decided that I need to step out of my comfort zone and create some items.  I have a love (but not a talent) for crafting.  I have tried numerous things from knitting to scrap booking to sewing.  All of these have been one hit wonders (or a few more).  So, I chose to make the girls matching shirts for the Irish Festival on Sunday.  I tried to buy matching shirts, but I didn't love any.  I know that to most people, this is NOT a big deal, but to me, it was HUGE!!!  Here is what I did. I found fun (and CHEAP) fabric.

Then I cut matching Shamrocks out of the fabric.

Next, I traced the Shamrocks onto Wonder Under.  This is great stuff for the beginning crafter.

After tracing, it was time to iron the shamrocks to the shirt.

Here is what the shamrock on the shirt looked like.

So far, so good!  Two shirts with shamrocks.

To make the shamrock POP, I traced it with gold fabric paint.

Matching, one of a kind shirts!  Now they just have to dry!!!

Next major project is baking Little L's first birthday cake.  If all goes well, it will go with the theme and be cute as can be!!  Stay posted for those pictures!
