Red, White and Vroooom!

So I know the 4th is a ways off, but its never to early to get into the patriotic spirit! A while ago, I stocked up on blank t-shirts for the boys and I with the intention of sprucing them up, and it has begun! While stocking up on baby supplies, I wandered around into the baby section of Target, and saw an adorable shirt that had a truck in Old Glory's colors and Red, White and Vrooom! beneath it. Love.At.First.Sight. My boys had to have it. Not paying the $10 they wanted for it though. It's just a t-shirt for Pete's sake. So here's my take on their show!

So here's my thought - I liked the truck, but really my big guy is not a truck guy. He's a Lightening McQueen guy, so I searched Google images for a race car. That took forever, but after narrowing down my search a bit I ended up only 48,200 images to sort through. I think I made it to page 3 before before finding what I wanted.

Next bit of business was to find an image of Old Glory herself to superimpose onto the race car's image. This one was a bit easier to find. Then I traveled to dafont.com and one of their new fonts was perfect for what I wanted.

So I mashed everything together, saved it, flipped it so I had the mirror image then printed it off onto the fabric transfer paper, ironed it down, and then tried to convince the big guy to try on his new shirt. No go. *sigh*


H's shirt will be done as soon as the dryer is done. I had to wash his onesie and I will need to resize the image for him, but for Dev's shirt I was able to just use a big letter sized image. Dev, btw, wears a small in boy sizes, just as a point of reference for ya'll. :)

Here are the completed pictures of the shirt. Hopefully by the time I post this, Dev will have warmed up to my picture taking advances. :)

**Update** Dev finally let me put the shirt on him, but I could not snap off a photo quick enough. The boy would not stop moving! :) The shirt also needs to be washed in order to remove some of the residue, but he likes it so that's all that matters!

  

  

And here's something for all of you! The images! One is mirrored for transferring, and the other is normal in case you just want to print it out on fabric and then use it as a patch. Just click on them to show the full size version and then right-click and save!
