"Sort-Of-Applique" sewing

For some time now I've been want to make one of those cute tie onesies, like this one from "Crap I've Made".  Suz's cute valentines shirts for her boys finally got my totally inspired so I got to work.... but I didn't make anything with a tie on it.  Ha.  That's coming though!

Suz sent me the tutorial to the "Sort-of Applique T-Shirt" (I love that name) and also told me where to get all the supplies for cheap!  We all know I love a bargain and I already had lots of cute fabrics in my stash so I just needed the heat-n-bond and the shirts.

First, I did this cute little onesie for the newest little baby in our lives... Miss Ava.   Ava's parent's are some of our good friend and her mommy also works with Ryan.  We met her yesterday and she's just the cutest little thing.

I also made Miss Ava another onesie with a cute lowercase "a" but I never got a picture of it before we went to meet her.

Then I made a couple of shirts for Cason.  They are probably too big for him so I hope it doesn't turn 100 degrees too soon!

See, since I had this cute Guitar fabric and Truck fabric, I couldn't resist making a Guitar Shirt and a Truck Shirt instead of a tie. 

 

I did a straight triple top stitch on the truck

And a zig-zag topstitch on the guitar.
 

I know another little boy named Mo that needs a guitar onesie and a truck onesie so I'll be repeating these projects very soon!
