A while ago I decided to make some shirts for a friends little girl by buying a plain long sleeve t-shirt and machine appliqueing a design onto them. At first I wasn't sure what to put on them. I needed to think of a design that wasn't too complicated and would look good as mostly a silhouette. She really likes rubber ducks, so I decided to do a rubber duck on one.
She also has a Minnie stuffed animal that she loves so I decided to do Minnie mouse as the other one.
It was a bit trickier than I thought it would be. I have machine appliqued on quilting cotton before but I have never really worked with stretchy fabric, and it didn't always do what I wanted. I put it on a very short stitch length and went around. Overall though I was happy with how they turned out.
Very cute. You might find it easier to sew if you put a stabalizr behind it. You could use wash away if you didn't want stabalizr on the inside forever.
