Have you seen the Spring issue of Mini Boden?
It's filled with stylish, comfy spring clothes and I'm absolutely in
love. I'm not in love with a $30 shirt for my kid to kick around the
back yard in.
I used this catalog as some inspiration for this shirt for Ephraim.
They have a lot of ideas for knit appliques (which is a great way to
re-use those old shirts that the kids have outgrown since last spring).
E was really drawn to the headphones so I did my best to replicate it
with what I had lying around.
I used an old t-shirt I
had that still fit him for the base. Ours had a pocket on it so that
had to be removed first. Then I just cut and layered my design. I
pinned it into place and chose a kelly green thread to contrast the
fabrics and used a stretch stitch to outline the entire thing. It's
pretty easy and a fun project to work with. I'm a fan.
So is he. SCORE!
Free beats $30 any day!
