I recently posted up an article on making homemade Halloween costumes for kids and this is the second part to that article.  So my youngest is set with her Mickey Pirate costume for Halloween.  The question still remained, what would my 6 year old daughter be.  She decided this year that she did not want a homemade Halloween costume but rather a store purchased one.

However, this week she changed her mind by telling me that she still wanted a homemade Halloween costume, well sort of, she wanted a homemade Halloween t-shirt … lol … then she hands me her sketch for the homemade Halloween t-shirt.  Here is a picture of her sketch.

So my job was to turn this sketch into reality.  Thankfully last year I had picked up an orange t-shirt on clearance at Michaels for $1.  Although, the only problem is the size of the t-shirt, an adult size small; so that meant I would have to re-size the t-shirt to fit her.  So here are the tools I used:  my computer, Cricut Create, a Cricut mat, Sure Cuts A Lot 2 software, a brayer, Steam-A-Seam 2, Fray Check, one orange t-shirt and black fabric.

Once we settled on the design for the “Halloween Cat Witch” t-shirt, I did a test cut using paper to see how it looked and fit on the t-shirt.  I then placed the Steam-A-Seam onto the black fabric and the used the Cricut Create and Sure Cuts A Lot software to cut the images out.

I then ironed the images onto the t-shirt.  I applied the Fray Check to the cut out so that the design will not fray when washed.  Here is what it looked like as the adult size small.

The next step was to re-size the t-shirt.  Basically it involved taking the t-shirt apart and cutting away the excess fabric and sewing it together again.

The final result is one homemade Halloween kids t-shirt, the “Halloween Cat Witch”.  I’m so proud of her for designing it.
