Must. Applique. Now.


Applique is like an addiction for me.  Or is an addiction. 
Same thing I think. 

 Here is a shirt I made for my little nephew again... He LOOOOOVES trains.
He might want to marry one someday... we'll see, he's only two. 

The first thing I did was draw a picture of a train.  Well, actually I had to draw approximately ONE HUNDRED pictures of a train before my husband said it looked close enough to a real train.  Seriously, every picture I showed him there was something wrong with it.  I guess he really wanted it to be perfect for little Will!

  Well anyway, when I finally got it right, I had to cut out all the little pieces for templates and then I started cutting the fabric.  The gray smoke and black wheels are felt and the rest is scraps I already had. 

And there you have it!  A train shirt for an adorable little fella.
See???
