T Shirt Patterns


I love to make holiday shirts for my little guy.  I just finished his up the other day and thought I would share my patterns! My son is 8 and in a size 8/10.  If you are making smaller shirts, print the patterns at between 50% and 80% to achieve the smaller size.

The tree, spider and turkey shirts.  I didn't take a picture of the tie shirt, but you can imagine the cuteness!  I love the look of googly eyes on shirts.  It adds an unexpected element.  I simply hot glue them on at the end.  They hold up in the washing machine just fine.  I have a shirt I made 3 years ago with eyes that are still on tight!  
Sew the tree trunk and then the tree pieces from bottom to top
Pin the circle for the spider body.  Pin ribbon pieces on and under the body.  Sew around circle.  Sew legs on.  Hot glue googly eyes on.
Sew the turkey feathers on from bottom pieces to the top middle.  Sew turkey body on.  Sew turkey nose.  Hot glue googly eyes.  I sewed around everything in white to unify it.  I think the effect turned out nice.
