My birthday is coming up and you know that means a fun themed party! This year’s theme is lemons because I’m not bitter about turning 35! I bought myself the perfect lemon skirt and even decorated the house with lemon décor, including a DIY wreath and fun pillows. I even made a few lemon signs. I wanted Andrew to wear a cute lemon shirt that said “Mama’s Main Squeeze”. The problem I was I found several cute ones but couldn’t find any in navy one to match me.
I finally gave up and ordered a plain navy shirt from Amazon to make my own. Typical right? I found a lemon clip art I liked online and inserted it into a Word document. I know there is actual design software, but this works for me without any additional costs. To create the wording I just used the Word art feature, I picked the style I wanted and typed out “Mama’s Main Squeeze” then fitted inside of the lemon. I printed the image on iron-on transfer paper and let the ink dry overnight. Next, I cut the image out and peeled off the packing before positioning it on the shirt. I covered with a thin scrap of cotton fabric and ironed in place with the iron on the cotton setting. Once the front was cooled I flipped the shirt over and ironed the back for a few seconds.
As simple as that Andrew is ready to party!
