Q - T - REX Applique

Sienna is all about dinosaurs right now (since seeing Ice Age). Not much out there for girls though....so we had to improvise. I drew the T-Rex skull from a photo of a skeleton.....it probably isn't very anatomically correct but Sienna yelled "DINOSAUR.......RAWR" when she saw it and that is good enough for me! I was putting "Cutie-Rex" on the shorts but Brett came up with "Q T Rex"..... love it! 

The great part is this can be an applique for a girl OR boy!


The tank top is reverse applique and the shorts are regular applique (click on the links for the tutorials).  I've uploaded my applique sketch at the bottom of the post if you want to make one for your little boy or girl too.

    Oh, that is simply lovely. I second you heartily that there are simply not enough dino related clothing/toys for girls! WHY?!

    Be sure and pop by and leave a note!!

    Super cute! This would be perfect on jammies - to wear while we read one of our favorite books Dinosaur vs. Bedtime by Bob Shea.

    I saw this and thought of you. Go see what this girl has done with a man's tshirt. You will love it. Here is the link.http://kojodesigns.blogspot.com/2009/08/kojo-tutorial-jcrew-y-ruffle-dress-from.html
    I know you will probably make one of these. I want to see it when you do. I might attempt it too.

    my name is Desiree and i recently purchase the t-shirt skirt/skort pattern and i love it. i'm a beginner, but the pattern was very easy to follow and the pictures were great. and i was able to finish the skort in just a few hours! my 1 year old looks so cute in it. i will soon be posting it on my blog so others can find your blog and enjoy it as much as i do. thank you for all the cute ideas that you put into my head!

    Fabulous! My 4 year old has two great loves right now - My Little Ponies and Dinosaurs, or so she tells me. And you're right, dinosaurs for girls are thin on the ground. She'll love this - thanks so much!

    Just had to share with you that I used this for my daughter's 3rd birthday party shirt. She wanted a dinosaur theme, so I made this applique for her. Here's the link. Thank you so much for the download on this! It turned out so cute! http://pumpkinpiecrafts.blogspot.com/2010/04/dinosaur-peasant-shirt-tutorial.html
