Arran and Ethan are two gorgeous boys I have the pleasure of being friends with. For their birthdays (Arran turned 5 and Ethan turned 2) I decided to make them some long sleeved t-shirts for Winter. Correction: there is NO WAY I made these shirts - I bought them and embellished them! :) My original plan was to applique dinosaurs since Arran had a dinosaur themed birthday party. However I then remembered this cute alien fabric I had. In hindsight it would have been better to to one of two things: 1)Make aliens out of plain fabric or 2) Do a square/circle of the alien fabric. But I did both together which is why they are a little busy and it is difficult to see the shape. Oh well, next time I will know better! I still think they are pretty darn cute though! Ethan put his on straight away and insisted on wearing it to bed since I gave it to him in the evening. (Don't you love grateful recipients?)
