Steam Train Shirt

Did you notice the cute train shirt A was wearing with his Ranger Shorts in my post last week?
It is another pattern I made out of the new One Thimble ezine I was given.  It comes in the ezine with all the other great patterns or you can get it by itself for only $2.



This boy is crazy about trains, he and Thomas the train are tight, he calls him “Tommy”…they go way back :) So I knew a shirt with a steam engine would be just perfect, he flipped when he saw it.

 

I used a shirt he had in his closet already.  It had a pocket on it, but after some careful seam ripping and a quick steam with my iron and you can’t even tell it was ever there. 


The appliqué comes with an option for a 2 piece appliqué (which I did) or a multi piece appliqué, which windows, doors, and wheels added on.  I like the simplicity of this 2 piece appliqué, I think it is cute on my 3 year old, but is something even older kids could wear.


I used some of the stretch twill I had left over from the Ranger Shorts and a little scrap of gray for the steam.  A little heat and bond and a quick zig zag stitch around the edge he had this cute appliquéd shirt!

  3. These concerns deal with the quality of writing services offered to students and the privacy issues that students might be us.payforessay having when using such services. These frequently asked questions will determine if students are inclined to hire the service of not. So, what are these most common queries from college students?

  4. Hi! I urgently needed money to buy a new laptop for work, as my old one suddenly failed. My savings were not enough and I started looking for a quick way to get a loan. This is how I came across online loan sri lanka. The application on the site was very simple and convenient. I filled in a few fields, and in a few minutes I received approval. The money was credited to my account within a few hours. The terms of the loan were transparent and without hidden fees, which was important for me. Thanks to CashX I quickly received the necessary amount of money to buy a laptop. I was very satisfied with their services and I am sure that I will turn to them again if necessary.
