Birthday shirt: Take two

This shirt is for sweet Coral. 

Quinn and Coral

Another lover of all things Elmo (who isn't though?)...

I made Elmo by printing a picture of Elmo. I cut Elmo out, pinned Elmo to the felt, cut out the outline first, then the red. I sewed the red to the black. Then I cut out Elmo's eyes and nose and sewed them on. It was going to be just Elmo's head, but Elmo looked lonely without Elmo's body, so I found another picture and did the same as with the head.
Note to self: do not attempt to "embroider" small letters ever again. They might be a little wonky, but once I started there was no going back. So hopefully no one looks too close at the letters :/


For the name I found a pretty font, printed it and laid it under the shirt. I traced the letters with hot glue and added the sequin chain as I went.

Of course I had extra fabric so I made a bag and...

a bow clip.

Quinn had a hard time giving this shirt up :) I'll make her one shortly, but in the mean time I've made a cute outfit for her birthday tomorrow!
