Make your ain Disney shirts

My sisters tin tell yous that I am the to the lowest degree crafty inward this family, hence I am pretty proud of my latest project. We convey a trip to Disney coming up. I desire the boys inward matching shirts everyday that nosotros are there, by as well as large to convey an easier fourth dimension keeping an optic on everyone as well as also because it volition travel adorable. We convey already spent a fair amount at Del Sol buying the boys matching Spiderman as well as Buzz Lightyear changing coloring stuff shirts. Shirts at the Disney shop are virtually $12.95 each ($38.85 total for 3 not including shipping as well as handling), though they produce convey sales. I produce non convey a local Disney shop to popular into hence I've been watching the shirts online as well as convey been frustrated that many of the sales shirts produce non even hence convey sizing for two size two shirts (or 2T/3T) as well as 1 size vi boys shirt, all matching. So I took matters into my ain hands: I crafted!

I went to Target as well as browsed the toddlers as well as boys t-shirt department. I flora white shirts inward both departments as well as neon stripey grayness shirts too. They were all on sale. The boys size brusque sleeve shirts were $5 each ($10 total for 2) as well as the toddlers long sleeve shirts were $4 each ($16 total for 4). Then I went to Wal Mart as well as bought Cars fabric, total price, as well as dark cloth from the scrap/clearance bin. I paid $3.74 total for all the fabric. I also had to purchase Heat n Bond Ultrahold (an atomic set out 26 on adhesive), which was virtually $5 for 1 yard (I don't cry back the exact price). I even hence convey most of the yard left from the vi pieces of cloth I ironed on, hence I excogitation on using that at a later on time. Total for materials: $34.74, giving me vi completed shirts plus leftover cloth as well as leftover atomic set out 26 on adhesive.

This in all probability is non an populace shattering consider for my crafty weblog readers, but, equally I said, I'm non crafty, hence this was pretty large stuff for me. :)

The neon stripey grayness shirts

I'm a visual person, hence I genuinely had to cutting out the printed off paradigm as well as lay it on the shirt to brand certain I liked it.
This is a Googled paradigm of an applique Mickey.

For the toddlers' shirts I printed off a 4x4 Mickey Mouse (adjusting the size on my computer).
For the boys' size shirt, I printed of a 6x6 Mickey Mouse (picture higher upwards this one).

I hence cutting out the 3 Mickeys. I did non set the Heat n Bond on the dorsum of the Mickeys showtime because I desire to set a stitch roughly the edges of the Mickeys. I did purpose double sided record to record the printed off Mickey blueprint to my fabric, making it easier to cutting out my exact shape.

This is the Cars cloth that I bought at Wal Mart. I hence set away this projection for virtually a calendar week earlier my vecino reminded me that I genuinely needed to goal this earlier nosotros instruct to Disney.

I roughly cutting out 3 Lightning McQueens as well as ironed on the Heat n Bond.

I traced the Mickeys on the Heat n Bond as well as hence cutting out their shapes.

This is a moving painting of the dorsum of the cutting out Lightning McQueens as well as the Mickeys amongst Heat n Bond applied. I did non set Heat n Bond all the agency to the edges of the Mickeys because I bought Heat n Bond Ultrahold which says "Do non sew!" genuinely large on the packaging as well as I desire the edges sewn on... hence this is how I solved that occupation (apparently I should convey bought Heat n Bond Lite if I wanted to sew together it). Now the edges tin travel sewn.

I started amongst the toddlers' shirts. First I peeled off the dorsum of Heat n Bond earlier mensuration where to atomic set out 26 on the Lightning McQueens.

I used the ruler on the side of my husband's degree to brand certain the Lightning McQueens were ironed on at the same spot for the toddlers' shirts. I set the bottom of the Lightning McQueens simply higher upwards the arm pits of the shirt, which set them virtually 2.5" downwards from the cervix of the shirt.

For the boys' size shirt, I simply made certain the Lightning McQueen was centered. I placed him simply higher upwards the arm pit of the shirt equally well.

The completed Lightning McQueen shirts.

These Mickey shirts were fifty-fifty easier. I used the striped to assist line upwards the Mickeys as well as simply made certain they were centered on the shirts. I measured the toddlers' shirts at the same fourth dimension again, since it would travel most obvious if these shirts weren't uniform.

And I did the same thing amongst the boys' size shirt, using the lines to assist house the Mickey as well as making certain it was centered.

The by as well as large completed Mickey shirts. Now I'm sending them over to my neighbor's occupation solid to convey dark stitches set roughly the edges of the Mickeys.

The Mickey shirts are definitely my favorite. With the neon stripes, they volition also travel the easiest to spot inward the park. I convey brilliant stripey shorts that I am going to convey the boys wearable the solar daytime they wearable the Lightning McQueen shirts, making the outfit popular a piddling more. My hubby is most pleased amongst the toll of this whole project, two days of matching shirts for the toll of one. :)
