I dug out some of my favorite fabric scraps this week and tackled a very simple sewing project: sweet monogrammed shirts for Luke and Lila. These are so simple to make and only require very basic sewing skills so a beginner can definitely make them.
They’re a great way to use up all those extra scraps of material that you don’t want to throw out.
I selected a font I liked and printed the initials out then used that as a pattern to cut the monogram. I centered the letter on each shirt and machine stitched around the outside. The edges of the letters will fray more as they’re washed, giving them the scrappy look that I love.
Cute! Can you tell this not-so-crafty person how to do it?
Love the shirts. I just bought a long sleeve white shirt for my 4 year old. I am going to put a lower case “a” on it. NOt sure what fabric to use. I thought about putting the same fabric on the bottom of an old pair of jeans in a big ruffle..to make it a cute outfit. I just need to figure out the ruffle part. Thanks for the pictures of the shirts!
Super cute, lady! Why aren’t you participating in the Fall Y’all giveaway? Why aren’t you giving me some things? 🙂
I just came across your blog and found this idea…so cute! I sew a little and was wondering if you could give me the quick run down–I love how the letters will fray! Thanks in advance!
