a little green

I know, I already told everyone that I LOVE St.Patrick's Day but I wanted to tell EVERYONE again!! I LOVE St. Patrick's day!! I even needed Noah to be "green" so I whipped up this great little shirt for him!

(Please ignore the fraying at the top, I fixed that with some fray check)

OH THE CUTENESS, DONT YOU JUST WANT TO DIE?!?!



Here is what you will need:
Sewing machine of course
A plain T-shirt
Steam a seam (double stick fusible web)
2 "d" rings
Thread (not pictured) 
Scissors
A tie pattern ( I just drew one from scratch)
A piece of fabric (about 1/4 a yard)
PolyPro belting  (or you can use another piece of fabric for the suspenders)

First, cut out your tie out of the fabric and the double sided fusible webbing


Now, if you like the look of the tie separated, when sewn on, you can cut it now...


 Now peel off one side of the fusible web and iron the fabric to the fusible web


Now peel off the other side of the fusible web and iron it onto your shirt,
 (forgive me, I didn't picture this step!)
Now it is ready to be sewn on!
And then pin on your D rings and belting
(tip: I wasn't thinking when I chose to use the belting, IT FRAYS! I used some fray check to fix this but you could just use fabric and the fusible web instead of belting)


Sew it on and.....

THATS IT, YOUR DONE!!!


Now, show it off Noah!

Now I really cant wait for our St.Patrick's day party!!
