For day 4, I wanted a fun, easy project. So I stuck with one of my favorite patterns right now, the LBB hoodie. This is my 4th one to date!
This one is made from his older brother's outgrown T-shirt. I wanted to use the basketball graphic, so I used it as a reverse applique. I found a good technique for that here from That Darn Cat.
I used to think that sports-themed boys clothes were cliche. Then I had boys, and I realized that most boys get pretty excited about certain sports!! Travis included. He LOVES basketball and football. I guess there's a reason why so many boys say "ball" as one of their first words.
My favorite part of this hoodie is the basketball on the back! I used my silhouette machine to cut this heat transfer. I finally figured those out after a few failures. Tip for Silhouett heat transfer: Press hard while ironing on, and WALK AWAY while it cools completely...lets just say I found it hard not to peel it off while it's still warm, my bad.
He likes it!
Oh my gosh, I love this! I totally have to get this pattern now. I checked out her etsy shop earlier and there weren't any available. I'll have to check back again.
ReplyDeleteYou are making some adorable, awesome stuff this week! I love seeing great stuff for little men. :)
Thanks, Emily! With 3 boys I am so glad there are now sewing patterns that are cool, that they would actually wear.
