Pirate Shirt and Bow

Pirate Shirt

Materials:

*T-shirt

*Pirate fabric

*Fusible interfacing for T-shirts

*Iron

*Scissors

Directions:

*Cut out a patch of fabric slightly larger than the size you would like your design to be.

*Cut out a comparably sized piece of fusible backing.

*Follow the directions that come with your fusible interfacing.  I don't know a lot about fusible interfacing, but I think the ones designed for T-shirts mostly have instructions along these lines: peel off paper backing on one side of the interfacing and press that side to the fabric.  Iron to the fabric.  Trim off any excess fabric.  Peel off the remaining paper backing.  Position the fabric on the desired spot on the shirt.  Cover with a damp press cloth and then iron down.  Remove the press cloth and iron the shirt dry.

Pirate Bow

Materials:
*Ribbon

*Pirate fabric

*Heavyweight white fabric

*Fusible interfacing

*Barrette

*All purpose adhesive

*Scissors

Directions:

*Cut off a length of ribbon and tie to form a bow.

*Snip out triangles from the ends of the ribbon, if desired.

*Create a pirate decal for the bow using the above directions for the pirate shirt, except fuse the pirate fabric to the white fabric instead.

*Glue the bow to the barrette and the decal to the center of the bow.
