For the Last Day of School

School gets out June 10th - and I don't think I. is that excited. She loves her teacher, she loves friends, and she gets along a lot better with her brother when they have a little space.
I'm going to try to make summer an exciting thing to look forward to. I made this shirt for the last day of school:

I just found out that if I fuse wonder under on fabric - you can put it through a Cricut machine! My friend cut these letters out for me. I just had to iron. I'm not even going to sew the edges. I'm making a cute little ruffly skirt to match the polka dots of the letters! She might be sad about being done with school, but at least she'll look cute.

PS - After I showed it to I., she told me she was only going to wear it for one day. It wouldn't make sense for her to wear a shirt that says "here I come" after she is already there. She definitely gets that practicality from her daddy!

THAT is stinkin' cute. So for my high schooler I could make one with the graduation year on it and she could wear it all four years! So cute!

What a cute idea! My Sam wouldn't have gotten the whole grade change thing either...some kids are so practical. He got it from his daddy, too.:-)

Happy Summer!

I LOVE the shirt, I mean I really love it. I wondered for a minute if I'd be able to make something just like it. And that I of yours is very intelligent...very much ready for 2nd grade.

Lol, this I sounds like quite the character, I love every story you tell about her!

And that shirt? So stinkin' cute. You can send it to me when she's done with it, I'd love to go back to 2nd grade.

I happened upon your blog from Amber M's blog -- super cute by the way! I love the shirt -- I'm definitely not into sewing as much, but I would love to be more creative and do things like this! Great ideas!
