being 6 T-shirt

Miss C. is turning 6 in a few days.

To celebrate, I decorated  a cute T-shirt.

My Maman used to make me some like that

when I was growing up.

Nothing says 70s like those collars!

So I revisited a family classic!

I started by printing a huge 6 from the computer,

easier and more regular than

trying to hand draw it.

I traced the reversed on wonder-under

and ironed it to some Liberty fabric.

After cut it out, I ironed it on the T-shirt

and hand sewed it with a blanket stitch.

I found a cute embroidery design from the same book

that I used on this post :

"Sublime Stitching" by Jenny Hart.

I like to use stem stitch but on the T-shirt it was not working!

So I used back stitch, easier on knit.

I also used some stabilizer before hooping the shirt.

I added some beads for sparkle,

we like everything fancy!

I think it is turning out nicely.

Hopefully the birthday girl will like it!

Happy sewing!
