Baby #2 will be here before we know it, and I haven't been very good about taking pictures, but I have crafted up a remedy to that!
I've seen those cute maternity calendar shirts online, but didn't want to pay $30 for one. I found a few tutorials in how to make them (freezer paper stencils with paint, vinyl as a stencil, etc) but I didn't want to paint. I decided to put my cricut mini to work and try to cut fabric with it. The results were mixed. Some of the numbers came out great, but the fabric didn't lay flat all the way with a lot of them.
It took me all afternoon, but I finally got them all on the shirt! I had the shirt in my collection already, and used scrap fabric for the black and an old pillowcase for the white. It turned out pretty good and the best part was that it was FREE!
The hubs always likes to hear about projects that don't cost us anything!
Want to make your own? Block out a lot of time, have a dose of patience, and get to it!
Happy Crafting!
