Audrey is stopping by today with a tutorial on customizing the Field Trip Raglan T-shirt<\/a>. It is a fun project to do with a special child in your life. Maybe a crafty project to do this summer, perhaps. Now I\u2019ll hand it over to Audrey.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hello, this is Audrey from Skirt Fixation<\/a>! I\u2019m delighted to be back with a tutorial on how to make a really fun Field Trip Raglan T-shirt. Although I have a different favorite Oliver + S pattern<\/a>, the Field Trip Raglan T-shirt is the Oliver + S pattern I\u2019ve made the most often. I made a fire truck version of the Field Trip Raglan T-shirt which you can see on our blog here<\/a>. Alright, without further ado, let\u2019s gather supplies.<\/p>\n

You will need fabric paint, a paint brush, a tray (I always save those styrofoam meat trays from the grocery store, give them a good rinse, and keep them for paint trays!) a foot, water and a towel, and of course, your Field Trip Raglan T-shirt front pattern piece.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Supplies<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 1: Put a very generous amount of fabric paint on the tray.<\/p>\n

 
\n<\/p>\n

\"Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 2: Smear foot all around in the tray, you want good coverage as shown.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3: Press foot straight down onto Field Trip Raglan T-shirt pattern piece.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can see that we didn\u2019t get his big toe, so we carefully placed his foot back on the shirt front, pressing down just the toe.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 4: Wash and dry the foot.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 5: Grab the paintbrush and fill in any spots you need to.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 6: Use other colors of fabric paint to draw the rest of the illustration. I was making a tractor, but if you search the internet for footprint craft (or hand print craft) you will find so many cute ideas you will have a hard time deciding what to put on the front of your child\u2019s Field Trip Raglan T-shirt!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 7: Use the paintbrush to color in larger spaces in your drawing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And there you have it! A finished piece of artwork! Let it dry for 24 hours (or whatever is recommended on your fabric paint) and then sew the rest of your Field Trip Raglan T-shirt together.<\/p>\n

Here is a photo of the happy boy in his finished tractor shirt. The other two changes I made to the Field Trip Raglan T-shirt pattern were to make it short sleeves for summer, and widen the neckband. You will have to excuse the stretched out neckband in these photos; it was a really hot and humid day, and we ended up taking off and putting on his shirt several times before these final photos were taken. Please visit us at Skirt Fixation<\/a> for lots more photos of the boy at the \u201ctrax-tor store\u201d in his new shirt!<\/p>\n
