Michigan t-shirt


While camping last week I made this Michigan t-shirt.


I used State Designs Michigan from My Scrap Chick for my t-shirt. I used the contour feature in Design Space to remove the heart from the Lower Peninsula and the slice feature to add a heart to the UP where I live. 


I started with a 11.5 inch square of camping themed fabric and ironed Heat and Bond Lite to the back. I cut the design out, then ironed it onto my t-shirt. Using two strands of embroidery floss, I blanket stitched around the images.


Even though my stitching is far from perfect, I'm happy with the way my t-shirt turned out, and it was a lot of fun to make.



Why not try to make a t-shirt for your home state?

Thanks for stopping by!

Pirate Ship Boxcard

Ahoy Maties!



Hi! Today I am sharing this cute Pirate Ship Box Card from My Scrap Chick. You can find the file HERE: I also added a little pirate using the Bella and Baxtor Pirates file which you can find Here:

The files imported into Design Space at the correct sizes. I used the Warm & Cozy Stack from the Jen Hadfield Home Made Collection for the boat base. I used scraps from my stash for everything else. The card went together easily.

The little pirate was made 3 inches tall including his hat. I attached him to the card with a couple foam dots.


Thanks for stopping by.
