Robot shirt tutorial with template

And old stained shirt turned into something cute!Almost all of little mans shirts have stains on them, and its really annoying when you know he will just get them dirty over and over. I've done this with old onesies before. I made a tie one from Crap I've made,(I actually dont have a picture of it, maybe I should do that!) and one with P#3s initial on it.So get out those scraps and have fun!If your loooking for more ways to be resourceful, Disney from Ruffles and Stuff has a good post on what to do with girls clothes.

  5. Question: does the heat n bond stop the fabric from fraying, therefore getting rid of the step of having to create hems on the edges? That would save SOOOO much time!
    Thanks!
