0 Upcycled Pocket T-shirt from Sky @ Capital B

Hello, hello, Twin Dragonfly Designs readers! I know I'm preachin' to the choir in mentioning how awesome Heather is here, but I'll say it anyway- this woman rocks! I am constantly amazed at the level of creativity she churns out! She is one of my favorite people and we've never even met ;) I'm thrilled to be in her company here today!

My name is Sky and my blog is called Capital B. It's a place that brings me happiness and when you come over to visit, I hope it'll do the same for you! I'm also a boy mama- with two teenage stepsons and two little guys of my own. They make life awesome! You'll often find me using the hashtag #boysrule because, well, they just do! ;)

Today for 

One For The Boys ~ T-shirt Week

I decided to try my hand again at creating a shirt I've made once before for my little guys. A couple of years ago, when I was first even learning how my sewing machine worked, I sewed a small scrap of fabric on some cheap shirts to create a "pocket" for them to tuck treasures inside of. Those became their very favorite shirts and I thought this time around I'd let them add a bit of personality too :)

3 The Intersection T-shirt from Carolyn @ Moose Mouse Creations

Hi!  I'm Carolyn from Moose Mouse Creations and I'm thrilled to be here at Twin Dragonfly Designs today!

Over at my blog I post about sewing, crochet, baking and cake decorating, with a little bit of DIY and home decor thrown in.  Of course I can't resist filling my posts with stories and photos from my always busy {often crazy} life with my all-male brood.  

If you have a moment, come visit me at my etsy shop too, where I sell beautiful, boutique quality crochet hats that I've designed.  I'll also be releasing my first line of crochet patterns later this spring...be sure to watch for them in my shop!

As a Mom of 4 boys, 

One for the Boys ~ T-shirt Week 

is right up my alley!  My little guys spend 90% of their lives in T-shirts, so I love to find fun ways to embellish and customize them.

The tutorial I'm sharing today uses something a little unexpected to turn a plain white Tee into wearable textile art...Plastic Lanyard!  

You can buy the lanyard at any craft store.  It can be flat or shaped like a tube and is usually used for making bracelets or key chains.  Today I'm going to show you how easy it is to use the lanyard to make:

2 Camping T-shirt ~ I'm Just a Little Cooler

Hi friends!

Welcome to 

One For The Boys ~ T-shirt Week 

here on the blog.  All week long we will be sharing epic t-shirt tutorials with you.  All inspired by our little men.  We would love for you to join us, follow along and check out our Pinterest Board for more great boy t-shirt ideas!

Our family loves to go camping.  So every year I try to create a new camping t-shirt for the boys.  

You can find last years S'more Smores T-shirt here and our I Love Camping T-shirt here.

This year I found a cartoon image of a cooler saying "don't hate me just cuz I'm a little cooler" and I thought that it would be totally cute for the boys.  I dropped the "hate" because I am not a fan of encouraging the boys to say "hate".  Weird?   Anywho here's how it came together...

1 Fruit of the spirit ~ plate it forward

I have been meaning to share this project for a long while and it keeps getting bumped down the list.  But I just love this idea so much.  It's too good to bypass any longer ;)

During our winter Pinspired Project class we experimented with the whole Sharpie Mug craze.  I decided to create a plate.  As I was sketching ideas one of my students asked if I had heard of "plate if forward".  I hadn't.  It's a very simple concept, she explained, where you give someone a plate of goodies.  Think homemade cookies or brownies.  When the plate is empty, the recipient then gives it {with goodies} to the next person and so on.  I love this idea!
