I just returned from Girl's Camp. We all made our own camp shirt this year to keep costs down. My friend had a tutorial printed on how to make them...but I can't seem to track it down. We just pinned coordinating fabric to the back of the inside of your shirt and traced the word we want on the front. Then you use embroidery thread to stitch around the outside of each letter. Once you are done with that you carefully cut your shirt inside the letters to expose your coordinating fabric. I hope that makes sense.
I also sewed 28 envelope style pillow covers for each of the girls. They all signed each others covers and we ironed on the camp's logo. I hope to never do that again. :)
The shirt is very cute! I love the embroidery. And 28 pillow covers? Wow, you're dedicated!!
