Since bringing out my dad’s old film Nikon last weekend I’ve been thinking about making Boo a new camera shirt.
Here’s what I came up with! You can click the image below to download the PDF template to make one for yourself if you like:
I printed off my template:
I ironed Pellon Wunder Under to the backside of several different fabrics…..
…….and cut out my pieces:
The pieces are numbered on the template…..that is the order that I placed them on a shirt. Then I fused the Wonder-Under to the shirt by ironing it:
I used a zig zag stitch on every exposed raw edge of the applique:
A finished vintage camera tee!
Here’s another post with a more complete tutorial on applique:
I seriously love that shirt! I think I’ll have to make this myself pronto. This would be cute on a bag or something. Thanks for the printable 🙂
You are so sweet to share your pdf file. It’s adorable! Thanks for all you do for “us” followers. We LOVE you!
Perfect appliqué!
I love this and I remember your crate labels from season 1 of sytyc. Very fun.
LOVE this!
Love it!
That is so dang cute! Thanks for the free applique!
They don’t even look that much alike actually. I’m pretty sure any crafty person could make one. What they are paying for is for you to do it, not your super duper no-one could ever think of it in a million years design.
Hi Ashley,
Do you put anything on the inside of the t-shirt over the applique stiches? Sometimes it can be a bit scratchy and was wondering what the lightweight material that you normally find on store-bought clothing with applique is called.
Thanks for the tutorial and pattern!
Hi Adela, sometimes I’ll add lightweight interfacing over it on the inside 🙂
Cute! Thank you, this is great. I’m going to make one for a photographer friend of mine.
Add me to the list of those who don’t see the resemblance. Love this, Ashley! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Cute design
I love the pattern and agree with everyone else. These two don’t resemble each other.
What a sweet way to commemorate your dad. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Other than the fact that they are both cameras, I really don’t see how they are that alike. That’s just silly.
Thanks so much for the tutorial. Can’t wait to make something with it!!
Ashely this is so cute. Thanks. What a greatest to honor your dad. I don’t think yours looks like the other one except that they are both cameras. I think it’s sad when people go around accusing people of stealing something like this where you based it off an existing product.
So does Jamie own th rights to all cameras in the world?
Super cute Ashley Thanks for sharing!! Can’t wait to let leighton pick the fabrics for hers!! 🙂
Ashley – a wonderful tutorial and a lovely tribute to your dad for your daughter – the rest is nonsense. Please, please don’t let it deter you from doing more!
**sigh** How sad?! The boutique clothing world can be a wonderful outlet for creative people and those that enjoy purchasing these products, but sadly, it is equally a place of unprofessionalism, ignorance, jealousy, and finger-pointing. For people to think that they are the ORIGINAL designers of art/design are simply delusional and self-righteous. It is truly sad and pathetic when these designers “call out” other designers on their FB pages and blogs. It truly makes me squirm when I read posts about people “copying me” and almost makes me think that they are deliberately trying to turn off customers because that is TRULY ALL THEY ARE DOING! Sure, they may have a handful of people backing them and saying “you tell ’em” or whatever, but I guarantee that the majority of customers that read these copying accusations think that person is just pathetic and sad. For lack of a better word, these people are simply “haters” They see what you have built and and somehow feel it necessary to try to bring you down. SAD!
Super cute! Love it! 🙂
Ok, new here, and no yours does not look like hers, and besides, hers was posted on the 15th, same as yours, so unless you are like really quick at this, there’s no way you copied hers, your first comment to you was at 6:10 this morning. So, no don’t think so lol. Besides hers is a little expensive if you ask me, Thanks for the pattern, wish it was a canon though, you knew someone would say that right? LOL. Gonna have to try this for myself, I’ve never done applique. wish me luck.
Thanks for sharing this and all your other super cute, aMazing designs. So much talent and creativity!! I love reading your blog and FB posts. So sorry about all this. So sad that there are such hurtful, prideful people in this world. If only more people were as kind as you! Thanks again!!
Ashley,
Is the heat n bond ok to use for this & the rocket ship too?
This is an adorable applique! Thank you so much for sharing it! I can’t wait to use it!
This is so sweet! I’ve never tried applique but your camera design is making me want to! Maybe I’ll have a go at it using paper. Thanks so much for sharing with us.
