We Are Friendly Monsters Pj Shirt

I finished it!  Here is the whole set:


And a close up of the monster applique:

I used the monster called "Bat Monster" as my inspiration for the applique.  You can see him in the left hand corner, right under the bottom edge of the shirt. 


I'm really having a good time with appliques!  I had never done any before doing the Pirate Shirt a few days ago.  They aren't nearly as scary or difficult to sew on as I had thought they were!  In fact, I wouldn't say they're scary at all!  Now I have all kinds of ideas for appliques.  If you've never tried it, you should.  Great, FUN results. :)

Can wait to see if S likes the result!  Christmas is in 11 days...

    HAHAHAHAHA those jammies are CUTE! I saw your link @ Trendy Treehouse so I came for a peek - I sure do wish "the internet" had been around when my boys were little - I could have gotten a zillion great ideas for them - like these jams! I wonder if 21 and 20+grumpy are too old for these ;)

    So adorable. My sons would flip over this. I'd have to wash them everyday so they could wear them over and over again. I'm now following.

    Jenn, Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm glad you like my projects. :) I actually got both of these (monster and pirate) fabrics at joann's. It can be hard to find cute boy fabric. I am ALWAYS on the look out for it. Pretty much any time I go to joann's (which may or may not be 2-3 times a week) I do a "drive by" of the flannels. If I see something I like, I buy a yard or two whether it's on sale or not because chances are if you wait even a day, it WILL be gone. This last week I found a REALLY cute robot one. Good luck and happy 'hunting'!!
