Ya'll know I am on an applique kick. Well, here is another applique shirt I did. This one was a gift for a sweet little boy named Owen, for his first birthday. If you are local, his mom, Vanessa, has a great local blog.
I wanted to make Owen something, but I don't really know how to sew boy clothes. An applique shirt is the perfect compromise. It can be for boys too, and it is a fast and simple thing to make.
I got the shirt on sale at Gap, and used scrap fabric from these projects, for the monogram. I just did his first initial and used a letter from Penelope's wooden ABC puzzle as a template. You could probably just google some fonts and use that as a template.
What is your favorite boy applique shapes/ideas?

I think a firetruck silhouette would be cute!
