This idea is not mine alone. I saw this first on Frenchie's blog and after making several of the smaller men's shirts, I decided to make a video, which will be on this blog below.
These shirts are really cute, measuring about 4 by 3 1/2" (finished)
This is what the small shirt looks like compared to a regular shirt
Below is the template I made:
- 3/4" from outside edges toward center
- 1 1/2" up sides. Cut out areas indicated by slashed lines
On the top measure as follows;
- 3/4" from top outside edges down sides
- 1" from the 3/4" point towards the center. With trimmer cut along 1" line towards the 3/4" mark. Do not cut along the 3/4 " mark to the 1" mark. This is the collar.
Turn the DSP to the side that will be the front. Fold the "collar" to the front and adhere tips with a glue dot.
See template below
Score ends of sleeves at 1/8" , fold and adhere with tombo.
Adhere button tab along center of shirt tucking upper end under the collar, and rimming the bottom end.
Add 5 Basic Black buttons on tab with glue dots
Add faux pocket tab
The Night of Navy card stock base is 4 1/4 by 11 scored at 5 1/2". On the front is adhered a 4 by 5 1/4" embossed piece of Basic White card stock.
The finished shirt is adhered to the card front at an angle.
The sentiment is stamped using Night of Navy and Poppy Parade markers and die cut with the smallest of the Stitched Oval dies. The word "Birthday" is stamped twice with the Poppy Parade marker, then cut out with paper snips and added over the original word using dimensionals. A bow made with the Night of Navy Baker's twine is added above the sentiment with a glue dot.
