So one night after her dance class, we headed to Joann's to look for some fabric. Lucky for us, their fat quarters were on sale for $.99 each. We browsed up and down the aisle and came up with this. (I also used this fabric to make the bunting & dress for the cake topper).
I didn't take any pictures of the process, but I think you can figure it out. I looked online for a pattern to use, and found this coloring page. I shrunk it to size on the copy machine. I pinned it to my fabric, cut them out and applied some Fray Check to the edges. Then I attached them with Heat N'Bond and used the sewing machine to stitch around each one.
I think it turned out really cute!
Had I not waited until the last possible minute to make this stuff, I could have actually shared it before the party! Anyway, have a great Mothers Day!

This turned out sooo cute! I love the six scoop idea. I did shirts for my nieces birthday last year and this sounds like a great idea for next year. Thanks!
Such a cute idea...and it coordinated so well with the party.

What fun! I LOVE the t-shirt, so cute!! I really need a girl so many fun girl ideas!!
I found your comment on my birdbath and had to pop over. the ice-cream t is so cute, makes me wish my kiddos were that little still. I enjoyed embellishing their clothes like that. so, your post was right up my alley!
That is so cute!!! I'll bet she loved it. I probably would have just done the number six. But then, I'm not very creative.
That is so cute!! What a creative idea. Thank you for sharing.

What a sweet cake. I bet those little girls couldn't wait to get into that.
I love that. It has a gymboree flair to it....but with a whole lot more personality!!!!
cute shirt! i love the idea of having her age represented without using a number. it will be wearable for a longer time that way. :)
This is just darling, great idea!
lovely, i embellish my girls ( 6 & 4 ) teeshirts and they would love this. I've done the normal one scoop and the cupcake, hearts, numbers, letters, apple ( that went down well) and boats ( for nephews) but will give this one a go. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Really really CUTE!!! Love it!
Just wanted to let you know... I gave you an award on my blog. Please come on over and pick it up :)
