Reindeer Shirts

A friend of mine asked me to make some matching shirts for her & her sister's children for Christmas.  I think she wants them all to match on Christmas morning for photos....how adorable, right?!?

I thought reindeer would be a good Christmas symbol that was unisex!

I had a heck of a time finding a reindeer pattern so I ended up having to make one on my own.  I did find a picture online that I liked it and I used it as an inspiration/guide.  I thought I would share my pattern here in case someone else out there is looking for one!   This is a jpg so you can copy and re-size it to whatever size you need.



I used Heat N Bond Ultra for the lettering, because some of it was intricate and I did not want to sew around it.  I used regular Heat N Bond for the reindeer so that I could embroider around them.

The girls reindeer have bows on the antlers and for the one boy, I made his reindeer nose red.

I think they turned out so cute and may just have to do another project with these little guys!

Here are some shots of mine ready to be applied.
