PIRATE APPLIQUE OUTFIT

If you have read my posts this week, you know that it has been crazy here.  Because I haven't had time to craft/paint/decorate much this week, I thought I would share a favorite project from the past.  As I said earlier in the week, I've been going through my kids clothes for the big consignment sale that happens twice a year here.  While cleaning out the boys drawers, I found one of my favorite projects from last year. 

On a trip to Joann last year, I came across this really cute pirate fabric. 

I bought a yard, which was plenty to make my 5 year old a cute pair of shorts.  I knew I needed to applique a t-shirt to go with it, but I didn't want to applique a skull for him.  He's too sweet for something so....hardcore.  I thought about a big ole X, but decided to do this instead. 

Honestly, it was a pain in the neck to sew around all of those leaves, but I LOVE how it turned out.  I didn't satin stitch it so the leaves are fraying slightly after MANY washings.  I just love that.  It's my favorite summer outfit for L. 

I HATE I don't have a picture of him in the outfit to post, but it's on my computer, which is with the Geek Squad.
