Next Tshirt Update

Posted by Sofia

 Here is a t-shirt #3 (1 and 2 here). Plain white tshirt, turned into super fun pirate one. I worked on it last night, Alex woke up this morning and saw it on the couch and immediately tried to put it on - made me feel like all my work paid off!! 


This was a fun and easy project. I found the 'pirate flag' GSD file here, awesome awesome site with lots of free personal use files.


Cut out on freezer paper, ironed onto tshirt and finger painted with blue. I found fingers work better than brushes on fabric. Also, after i finished painting, i put one blank paper on top of it and ironed it over the stencil again to get the fabric dry and set fast and to my surprise it caused the velvety effect on the artwork. Cool!! 


                 I also stitched 'stitched together' look on his sleeves. I don't know how else to explain this. Anyways, i think i am in love with freezer paper. So many possibilities. I might fabric paint a lot of Alex's clothes ... hopefully won't go overboard with it :)


Oh yeah, i got new glasses last week - i CAN SEE now!!!!!!! 


Been busy making 'thank you' cards for our awesome friends who made donations toward our anti-human trafficking project. We really appreciate your confidence in us and feel truly blessed!!!
Thank You!!!
