T-Shirt Dress

I made a couple of these little dresses out of an inexpensive t-shirt and fabric scraps. They are easy and care-free for summer fun.

Fabric Letters

This is the computer fabric I had on hand.  I used my ink jet printer.  These are dry clean only.  There are many other brands of computer fabric. 



I opened the saved letters with Microsoft Office Picture and printed the 9 wallet size on a 8 x 10 page.
These are my initials printed on fabric.  I will either sew them into a project such as quilt or purse or I will put fusible on back and iron on to a project.
