Part 2 Turkey Day outfit!

Supplies:

Black Shirt

extra fabric in coordinating colors

iron on adhesive

sewing machine

# 1 start by drawing out your turkey(Here I used two different size circles to trace) then Cut out

#2 then in a different color but out your feathers. I cut a template out of construction paper so my feathers would be the same size and shape. Now stick all the parts of the turkey wrong side down on iron on adhesive.

 ** make sure you stick the fabric to the right side of the paper!

#3 Now cut around your fabric pieces and flip adhesive side up and iron it on...the peel paper off

#4 Now time to assemble your shirt. Starting with the feathers arrange them on  the shirt how you want them.  When there where you want them iron them on the shirt.

#5 Now place your Turkey body in the middle and iron.

#6 Now get your sewing machine out ... I  used a zig zag stitch to go around all the feathers as well as the turkey body. Here's what I set  my tension and stitch length to.

 *** I started with the  Turkey body then the feathers.

Lastly add your face to your Turkey. I use some scrap fabric along with fabric paint.

Turkey Day Outfit Part 1 Fabric tutu

So I have been seeing a lot of cute Thanksgiving themed outfits all over the Internet! Here's my take on a tutu cute Turkey Day outfit!

** fyi there are two #8 on my picture steps the first one is meant to be a 7 in case anyone missed that!

Supplies:

Fabric of choice

Tulle in coordinating colors

Elastic

#1 Choose your fabric, then cut 1 1/2 inch thick strips. To figure out the length measure your lil one and times that by two. so Lets say you want it 11 inches long cause that is where it hits your lil ones knee... then your going to cut 22 inch long strips.

#2 Measure the waist of your kiddo subtract an inch. That is how long your elastic needs to be. Then sew your elastic together. If you don't want to sew use a safety pin, or tie it in a knot. If you want to tie it try using a thinner elastic band its easier to double knot.

#3  I use my leg to stretch out the elastic band so I can fit as many strips as I can to make a full skirt. Don't over do it though because you elastic will loose elasticity. Then fold your strip in half and loop your strip under the elastic.* you can also use a paper towel roll or vase.

#4 The place take the end that is open and pull through the loop at the top. If that's confusing just look at the pictures its kinda hard to word.

#5 Pull through and continue to do this until your skirt is full.

#6 Using the same technique I added some tulle for a contrasting texture...I thought it needed

something.

#7 Make some fabric flowers...you can find these tutorials in previous posts.

#8 Using hot glue gun attach to the front of your tutu.

All done!!
