Jack-o-latern Shirts

Making jack-o-latern shirts would be an extremely fun activity for most kids. This would be a great Halloween activity. Follow Come Together Kids to create some spooky shirts.

5 Great ideas!

Another great week of link-ups! I can't highlight them all so here are just a few!

Bring on the glitter! Queen of Iwasagonna glammed up some 2x4 with orange glitter to make some rockstar glitter pumpkins!

Why didn't I think of this simple idea? My son will not wear any type of tie if it clips inside his shirt! Love City basically attaches a safety pin to the tie and the shirt! This would totally work with my son (and probably yours)!

I love this idea from seven thirty three - A Creative Blog for the first day of school pictures. So fun!

Just Sew Sassy created a belt of felt flowers for the fall! It's gorgeous! (It would look cute as a headband too!)

Eating My Candy has found another thing you can spray paint - your shirt! I love her technique for spray painting a shirt!

Tiered Skirt and Shirt! (2)

There is an understated elegance to this beautiful tiered skirt created by Made It On Monday. The soft color and shimmery material add to the beauty of the cascading lines!

Read how to make a cascading tiered skirt.

I also like the look of this tiered shirt by The Gunny Sack. It is made from two identical shirts. The lines draping across the body add a unique look.

See the tiered shirt tutorial.

Draped Circle Top (Nordstrom Knock-off)

Head over to Sweet Lemonayde to learn how easy it is to knock-off a draped circle top found at Nordstrom.    It is so cute and SO EASY!!!!   Can you believe this tutorial was written by and 8TH GRADER?    What will she be making when she is 20?   This girl has some serious talents.  Swing over to say "Hi" to Nay.

Ruffles and Buttons Anthro knock-off Shirts

I've seen this beautiful ruffle and button Anthro knock-off shirt going around blogland. EVERYONE is loving it and making it for themselves. I thought I should show it off one more time so if you can make it too (if you haven't already)! Busily Spinning Momma has a very detailed tutorial for this long sleeve shirt turned Anthro short sleeve and ruffly!

This cute shirt is a knock-off of the former Anthro knock-off. It is adorable. You should see the dress that it is a part of at Mommy By Day, Crafter At Night. No tutorial, but it shouldn't be to hard to figure out using the first tutorial!

Guest Blogger - Binge Crafter - Apple Tree Applique Shirt

Hey! This is Angela from

Binge Crafter

and I am so excited to be guest posting here on Someday Crafts!

As my blog name states, I am a binge crafter- I do a little bit of everything and generally in one big binge crafting session. I love paper and fabric crafting especially.

Some of my favorite things to do include:

I absolutely love making cute tee shirts for my daughter- tie dye, fabric paint, appliqué, you name it!

For my Someday Crafts tutorial, I decided to do an early fall project- an apple tree appliqué!

For this project you’ll need:
-An iron and ironing board
-A t-shirt
-Brown and green fabric, prewashed and ironed
-HeatnBond
-Apple tree template (download here)
-Red buttons
-Embroidery thread and needle

Let’s begin!
1. Print the template and cut out the shapes. Cut two pieces of HeatnBond approximately the size of the templates.

2. Iron the pieces of HeatnBond onto the fabric using the silk setting for just a few seconds.

3. Cut out the pieces of fabric and trace the templates onto the HeatnBond. Then cut out the pieces of fabric.

4. At this point, I like to lay things out on the shirt just to see how cute it’s going to look!

5. Peel the paper off the back of the pieces of fabric. Lay them on to the t-shirt.

6. Iron the fabric onto the t-shirt.

7. Using your embroidery thread, sew a running stitch around the edges of the appliqué and sew on the buttons.

Ta-da! You’ve got a cute apple tree appliqué shirt just perfect for fall and apple picking! I hope you enjoy this tutorial and template and stop by Binge Crafter to see more of my ideas! Happy Crafting!

THANKS, Angela! Apple tree applique would be perfect for back-to-school too! I love the addition of the buttons and embroidery thread! So adorable!
