Valentine's Shirt.

She's giving me the look, "Really? Another picture?  Can't you see that I'm trying to look at a book?"

Finally...the shirt is finished.  I've been trying to get this special little shirt made for my girl for a few weeks now. 

First, the dilemma was finding the white shirt in her size (finally, found it at Target). 

Then, there was the embroidery thread dilemma.  Where did one of my darlings hide it?  Searched and searched, but had no luck.  So, I had to get some more. 

Then there was the time dilemma.  When in the world do I have time to sit down and sew a little something?

Well, all the stars must have aligned yesterday because I was able to get it done.  Yay!  I definitely had a Coke break after all of that:)

Quick How-to:

 First, I lightly wrote with a piece of the kids' chalk (because I didn't have one of those fancy tailor's chalk pencils) what I wanted to sew.

Then, with an embroidery needle and thread, I went to town with my sewing.  You may be wondering what the little wad of thread is at the top on the back of the shirt.  Well, look below, it's a little something extra!

I bet you'll be running to your kid's closet to look for a shirt (or onesie) you can sew on as soon as you leave your computer.  I know I would, too.  I can't wait to see how it turns out:)
