The Big Sister appliqué top




I gave this to my 2 year old daughter when she came to visit me in the hospital, after my second child was born.

The plain black top I bought new for a few dollars - all it needed was a bit of jazzing up.


I chose a simple font and printed off the letters, cut them out to use as templates. Then I cut out the letters from pre-washed fabric scraps using pinking shears to get a zigzag edge. (This gives a rag look, and also prevents fraying). Then I pinned and sewed using a medium straight stitch, being careful not to catch the back of the top as I went.


Easy peasy!
