stencil shmencil

soooo, ever since my friend (Amy) showed me some sweet Harry Potter tees on Etsy, I've been itching to make my very own.  I made these shirts the same way I did Jack's "2" shirt.  The best part is that I am still using the same roll of freezer paper.  That stuff will last you forever!  


Originally I was going to use the freezer stencil method and paint a gold lightning bolt but then I figured a little dimension would be cute too.  So I used some felt.  Now if only hadn't used the zig zag stitch...

I thought it fitting this should be seen as he's walking away.

well this just makes me giddy.  This here is for Brooklyn.  I made a black one for Van.  Now it's Miles' turn.


I am re-reading Harry Potter 7 in preparation for the second part of the last movie, so here are some more ideas that I have in store:

I ♥ Ron or Sirius 
(these two are my 'Harry Potter' crushes)

I solemnly swear that I am up to no good 
 (this one might have to wait till I get this baby)

Expecto Patronum! with an outline of a stag underneath

I must not tell lies

Dumbledore's Army

    as a side note, when I first put the shirt on Jack he said "oh, like Lightning McQueen."  Whatever Jack,  soon you will understand it's true awesomeness.

    Man oh man I love this post! The shirts turned out so good! I can't wait until Hagrid shows up to tell Jack about the wonderful world of Harry Potter.

    The problem is that I'm pretty sure Harry and I don't have a future together. Tragic, I know.

    I signed up for pinterest a few weeks ago so I guess since that time it's become mega popular and now there's a waiting list? I have no idea.

    P.S. I'm excited to come see you guys soon!!
