I was really excited when Jessica asked me to make Elizabeth's pig party shirt last week. The pig theme sounded like so much fun and I couldn't wait to paint a flying pig on the shirt! I'm really happy with how it turned out and from Jessica's post yesterday, it looks like Elizabeth loved it too.
I started with foam stamps, fabric paint, and white cotton fabric to create the wording.
I carefully stamped the letters onto the fabric.
While the letters were drying I started working on my flying pig. I had a hard time creating an image myself. I borrowed something from an Etsy page that I can't find again. I made the shirt really late and I thought I had saved the link. I feel horrible for not linking back to the artist. If you know the source to this cute piggie, please email me!
I printed the image and then used a black marker to trace the lines.
I put the paper directly under the fabric and traced the pig with a fabric marker.
I used fabric markers to make the lines darker and then added some rosy cheeks. Then I ironed both fabric pieces onto fusible backing and attached them to the shirt.
I stitched around the patches, added some rhinestones, and went to the post office with Elizabeth's birthday package the next day. Such a cute little party girl in her new shirt!
