Green Robot

by

Free DIY Robot Stencil Template Download via lilblueboo.com
I used my new little robot to make a set of pajamas for my nephew who turns 3 this weekend. The robot is a freezer paper stencil onto a white t-shirt and I made the pajama pants from some green robot print fabric.

I printed the robot directly onto freezer paper, cut out the image and used fabric paint (Jacquard is of course my favorite) to fill in the image. (Read this tutorial for more info on freezer paper stenciling, and fabric paint.) The greens don’t match exactly….but I didn’t have the right blue paint to mix with the yellow!

Flaming Pants

by

I’ve been neglecting making things for boys lately….so I made these little black sweatpants for my newborn nephew today. I made them with an old t-shirt and a layered freezer paper stencil. He’ll look really “tough” at 6 months old with the flames don’t you think? You can make them too…..I scanned and uploaded my flame sketch at the bottom of the post.

Step 1: I cut out two legs from a black t-shirt (you can find my t-shirt pant tutorial here).

Step 2: I cut an 8.5 x 11″ piece of freezer paper and printed my template directly onto it (make sure to print on the paper side…NOT the waxy side or you’ll have a real mess). I cut the template in half…. one flame for each leg.

Step 3: I cut out the large flame from each piece of paper (save the inside flame for later)…..

Step 4: I ironed on my flame stencils to the t-shirt (read this tutorial for more info on freezer paper stenciling, and fabric paint). I ironed a piece of freezer paper underneath as well so the paint didn’t bleed through.

Step 5: I mixed a red/orange color and painted several layers onto the stencil.

Step 6: I cut out the smallest portion of the inside flame.

Step 7: Once the red/orange layer of paint was dry, I ironed the “inside” stencil directly onto the paint and larger stencil.

Step 8: I mixed a little bit of white fabric paint with yellow (to make the yellow more opaque) and painted several layers onto the “inside” stencil.

Step 9: Once all the paint was dry I peeled off the stencils and my flames were finished!

Step 10: I sewed together my t-shirt pants and added the elastic waist (see the t-shirt pant tutorial here for directions).

And put them on my new little “baby manny” that a friend gave me! He sure is frumpy.

Q – T – REX Applique

by

Sienna is all about dinosaurs right now (since seeing Ice Age). Not much out there for girls though….so we had to improvise. I drew the T-Rex skull from a photo of a skeleton…..it probably isn’t very anatomically correct but Sienna yelled “DINOSAUR…….RAWR” when she saw it and that is good enough for me! I was putting “Cutie-Rex” on the shorts but Brett came up with “Q T Rex”….. love it!
The great part is this can be an applique for a girl OR boy!

The tank top is reverse applique and the shorts are regular applique (click on the links for the tutorials).  I’ve uploaded my applique sketch at the bottom of the post if you want to make one for your little boy or girl too.
