Sara here once again. During our whole moving extravaganza we found out we would be adding one more little person into our family. Even before we found out though I had a thought to make DJ Ark a shirt to announce to our families that he was going to be a big brother. (I thought this would be something obvious and fun, but that wasn't the case, more on that later though.)
So how did I make the shirt...I found a font I like and printed it at a size I liked. I then traced the letters onto the back of some felt that I had ironed Heat n' Bond to. Once they were cut out I placed them onto the shirt how I wanted them. Then I ironed it onto the shirt. I also went ahead and stitched around each letter so I didn't have to worry about the letters coming off in the wash. I loved how it turned out, but I felt like it need something else. So one day while I was wondering around JoAnn looking at all the fabrics I found this fun polka dot print that I thought would go perfectly with the shirt.
I used Dana's
Basic Pant pattern and tutorial and made the little guy a new pair of pants. I wished I would have made them a little longer so they would last until the baby is born, but we will see.
So a quick side story, like I said earlier I thought this shirt would be a great way to tell our families. Well one set of parents just looked at us when they read the shirt and I had to said I was actually pregnant before they got it. Then the other set asked who the shirt was for. Claiming I make so much stuff for other people they didn't believe it was actually for our son! Next time (if there is a next time that is) I will just make myself a shirt that says, "I'm pregnant".
