Dr Seuss Day

This week is Nevada Reading Week and since I'll be subbing most of the week, I thought I'd participate in the dress up days. Today was Dr Seuss day. I didn't have any Dr Seuss shirts, nor did I have any red and white striped clothing so I thought I'd make my own shirt. Luckily for me, everything I needed to buy to make it, was either on sale or I had a discount coupon for it so this shirt cost me about $5 to make. A lot better than spending a lot of money on a shirt from the store. And it took hardly any time to do.

Things you'll need:

 

T-shirt
Sheet of white felt
Black fabric paint

White thread and needle

Wash your t-shirt so the color is set. Sometimes the color comes of of t-shirts depending on the brand you get. I went onto Pinterest and found a template for "Teacher 1" copied it and pasted it into a word document so I could adjust it to the size I wanted, and printed it out. The white felt is light and thin enough that you could lay it over the printout and still see where the lines are to trace. Once it's traced, cut it out and go over it with the black paint. I used a fabric paint that had a tiny little tip at the end that would make it easier to use with smaller lines. When the paint was dry, I sewed it onto the shirt.
