Thanks to Susan I'm seeing stripes everywhere. I saw this little yellow & white striped shirt at the thrift store the other day & couldn't pass it up. It's so cute & in awesome condition for being somewhere around 15-20 years old (based on the tags). My neighbor's son just had his first birthday so I wanted to do something thoughtful & possibly handmade. There's something so foreign to me about making gifts for boys, maybe it's because I have a girl & I am a girl. Maybe. I had a bunch of black heat transfer material that I got with my Silhouette, so when I saw this shirt in the thrift store I knew exactly what I needed to do. I wasn't sure if I was going to do a robot or rocket ship, but when I started thinking about the stripes on the shirt I knew it had to be nautical. It took me less than 5 minutes to cut out the design and iron it on! I love how slick this is! I think I need to get more colors of this heat transfer stuff. It's rad. It almost looks & feels like dried silkscreen paint. I'm a huge fan.
