Turkey Shirts - boys and girls

I can't get enough of all the super-cute Turkey Shirts out there!!  And so I just had to make a couple...

Just cut shapes out of felt and sew them on.  I didn't use wonder under, but it is probably a good idea.  You can see my stitch lines here:

I've seen several tutorials, but the one I loved the most was over at ArtsyFartsyMama because the feathers were on the back - I just appreciate that touch!  Head to her site for the full tutorial.


  I loved how the project could work great for a boy - awesome boy crafts are hard to come by.  But meanwhile my daughter saw the fun shirt and wanted one for herself.  Well who am I to turn down a request?!

Are you noticing I mixed things up for the girl version  - yep!  I added eyelashes (might be a little over the top but I couldn't help it!) and instead of solid feathers I used the paisley printed felt from Michaels - I thought it was perfect for this project.  

And since I was only planning on making one shirt at first, I didn't have a second brown shirt on hand.  But I had a men's XL brown shirt, so I cut it up and made her whole tshirt - I love how it has a boatneck feel to it. I'm not sure the sleeves match each other (I kept cutting them til I found a shape I liked then had to replicate it on the other side) so I just ignore that part.

 She wore it to school with these in her hair - - November, we're here!

These were really easy to put together - - really, go whip one up - the kids LOVE them!!
