whimsy bits: birthday tees

last weekend i made a couple of state tees for my little cousin, bennett. she's turning two later this month and along with her mommy and daddy will be moving to arizona soon.

i wanted to make her a shirt with kentucky appliqued on (and put a little something on the city she's lives in now) and then just decided to try something new and make her an arizona shirt as well.


on the arizona tee i tried a reverse applique. i had never done this before but it turned out so nicely and was actually very easy to do.

i thought kentucky would be hard to applique but i just took my time and it came out so nice. best applique i've ever done! and since they're from louisville, i appliqued a little pink heart where the city is located.


i loved making these tees and they were super affordable and only took about an hour for me to do both from beginning to end! i'll be doing more of these for sure. thinking of adding them to my etsy shop in the little bits section. what do you think?
