I’m digging swiss crosses lately so I made this tee for Cohen. I showed it to my husband who said “Oh it’s like Federer” (Federer is the tennis player from Switzerland, if you didn’t know.) So yes, just like Federer! I’m glad it has a deeper meaning than I intended!
The red cross is Silhouette flocked heat transfer. I love that stuff! (I also used it for this spider web tee). It’s fun to have something quick and easy and soft to make all sorts of tshirts with. But this time instead of sending it through my cutter, I just used scissors to cut the shape. Since it is just straight lines.
I used a 2″ grid for each of the cross’s arms. (Is that what they are called?)
Cut it out and press it on. I think I’ll add some stitching, too, to keep it there a little longer.
So easy!
Love that shirt! And Cohen’s pretty cute himself :).
Oh I love a nice bold graphic tee. Very nice! I used that flocked stuff on some PJs I made my daughter over 2 years ago and it’s still holding on strong, with no stitching. And that’s with her constant “petting” it too :) So you should be good if you’d rather put your feet up and eat some chocolate today instead of sewing :)
Such a cute idea!
Happy holiday’s, Kate. I’m a long-time follower and just stopping by to wish you a season’s greeting.

Sorry to disapoint you, but the swissflag is with cross on red ground.
Your handmade shirt is the red cross.
Greetings from switzerland
Love!! Also, I’m adoring the yellow shirt underneath.
