You did such a great job on all of them!!!

Please share (step by step, if possible) how you did the tie-dye...

There is a great place with directions, but it is on another board and I can't post. But, if you know what I am talking about, just search tie dye and it comes up.

The princess shirts were really easy. I bought material from Hancock's fabric and cut out the squares. Instead of sewing them, I used a fusible material. Really cool. Just iron it to the back of cutout, then iron to shirt! My mom is the gifted one who taught me how!

The tie dye is not hard, just time consuming. The hardest part was the mickey head. You have to draw a mickey head (I traced one) and then do a 1/4-1/2 inch bsting stitch all around the mickey head. I used dental floss as my thread becuase after you finish stitching, you pull hte thread tight and it bunches it up. Then rubber band it off and keep rubberbanding the shirt and dye it. There are much btter dierctions on the internet.

Thank you for the tip on making these. Did you do the rubber bands for the mickey head or the stitching? Just curious to see which is easier!
Thanks again I can't wait to make these for the kids :)

I stitched the mickey head, pulled it tight, and then super rubberbanded it! About 4 rubber bands so that it would show more.
