Boys Applique Tie Tutorial/pattern

Upcycle, Refashion or Create a fun boys shirt! These are great to create for your own family or to give as gifts.

I recently used these as part of the decorations for a baby shower I hosted that the guest of honor then took home as part of my gift when the baby shower was over. 

Materials: 

Baby onesie or toddler t-shirt

fabric scraps

Heat n' Bond lite/Fabric adhesive

Applique Tie pattern (click HERE)

Scissors

pen/pencil

iron

sewing machine

Step 1: Choose which sized pattern of Tie fits best for the size of onesie/tshirt you are working on. Cut out the pattern. Choose a coordinating fabric and apply a piece of Heat n' Bond to the backside of the fabric according to the package directions. Place the Tie pattern on the Heat n' bond and trace. Cut it out. 

Step 2: Peel off the paper backing and position on the onesie/tshirt. (1st photo) If desired, cut the top of the Tie to match the rounded angle of the neckline. (2nd photo) Iron fabric Tie into place. 

Step 3: Sew the fabric Tie into place by using a straight stitch, zig zag stitch or satin stitch. You choose for the look you want.

It's an easy, quick way to transform a plain shirt into something fun! A great way to coordinate sibling outfits too!
