Candy Corn Shirts for Girls

It's almost time to hit the pumpkin patch and I wanted to have something cute {and matchy-matchy} for the little girls to wear.  I decided candy corn shirts would be quick and simple.

I hit my stash pile for fabric and chose white, yellow, and orange fabric in different prints and textures.  I wanted to be sure that the fabrics showed up well on a white shirt and thought texture would be a good way to accomplish that.

I cut strips of fabric in two/three-inch widths and then sewed them together into one long strip.

I cut a candy corn-shaped template from paper and used that as my pattern piece.

Once cut out, I sewed the little appliques onto white {Wal-Mart} shirts and left the edges raw.  When washed, they'll get the raggedy edge that I love.

Can't wait for the first trip to the Patch!

  2. Very cute but I am super shocked you aren't making Kennedy wear one. I mean Eli has to wear a cow costume. Are you getting soft?
