Dr. Seuss!

My dear friend Danielle is a teacher in the area - and for Dr. Seuss's birthday week and Read Across America - she wanted a Dr. Seuss t-shirt! I was more than happy to make her and her Librarian friend each ones with a Dr. Seuss quote!

She picked the quote from the Silhouette online store, and I took it from there!

After cutting out the design on my Silhouette Cameo - I sat and peeled out the negative space.... I found it easiest to sit at my 'bar height' cutting table so that it was at eye level to see the cut lines... and a pair of tweezers/exacto knife!

Then I checked size/shape... something was missing - too bland.


So I pulled out some red HTV that I had picked up - definitely the 'pop' it needed. 


Ready to start the ironing process!


Before this, I had only made small projects. Toddler shirts and onesies - ironing a bigger image takes a good bit longer than I anticipated!!!
(In the middle of this I switched to using a plain white t-shirt for my ironing 'in-between" layer after seeing a post where the color of the layer ran onto the project!)


And - The final product!


I now have two of these amazing shirts for my Teacher friend and her Librarian friend!
