Justin is away on business until tomorrow night, so I had the urge to 'make something!'
Well, it wasn't dinner so this is what Addy and I had:
I had decided a while back that Addison would be an owl and I found a cute homemade picture of an owl costume...why not? :)
I also have fell in love with applique shirts like the ones from Mini Boden. I found an awesome tutorial and decided to give it a shot. This is inspired by "THE Hedgehog Shirt" from Mini Boden
My sewing skills need some major improvement, but overall it looks like a hedgehog and if you aren't close to the shirt you shouldn't notice how uneven it is :) Or how I should have blanket-stitched it by hand or how crooked the entire straight stitch is. Oh well ;)

I didn't take a picture of the beige fabric for the body of the hedgehog, b/c I forgot to buy it and ended up using the leftovers from the owl project :)

Bond to fabric and cut out
Place on shirt and then iron on so they are set
Stitch away, Again...I should have done this different!

Owl Costume
One t-shirt and a 1/2 yard each of 2 different fabric choices
Cut the 'feathers'
Arrange the pattern
Start sewing from the bottom of the hem and up , overlapping as you go
Not the best picture, I'll try it on her tonight :)
