We gathered our supplies (t-shirt, ribbon, felt, thread), and we worked on the shirts while the girls chased each other, and the dog around the house.
The shirts were SUPER easy to make. We took a tupperware container and a small juice glass, and drew the turkey shape on the back of a piece of tan felt. We cut out the turkey, and hand stitched two buttons for eyes, and a small piece of orange felt for the beak
After the turkey was cut, we centered him on the t-shirt, and began pinning the ribbons underneath him to make the turkey plumage.
Once the ribbons all seemed to be in place, we sewed around the ends of the ribbon to hold them in place.
After the ribbons were sewn in place, we placed the turkey in the center, and stitched him on. My friend hand stitched hers, and I used my machine. I started to hand stitch it, but I wasn't happy with how it was coming out, so I decided to use my sewing machine. Then we ironed on the girls names and viola! Turkey day shirts!
Isn't it cute? It was SEW easy! (ok. ok. I know. I'm lame)
