#TeamLogan Foiled Fan Girl Shirt – with Free Cut File

Where my Gilmore Girls fan girls at??? I am in the midst of binge watching the entire series for the third time! I simply cannot wait for the new episodes to come out!!! With all the yucky election stuff I thought I would declare my support for what really matters!! Thus the #TeamLogan foiled fan girl shirt was born!

#TeamLogan Foiled Fan Girl Shirt – with Free Cut File

Supplies:

White T-shirt – I used a v-neck because I cannot wear a crew neck…use whatever shirt is comfortable to you!

Black Fabric – Cotton will take the adhesive and foil best.

Hot Melt Adhesive

Deco Foil

Silhouette Instructions:

For this shirt I made a patch to add to the shirt. There is a very specific reason I didn’t add the foil straight to the shirt so let’s get right to it.

Cut the fabric into a rectangle that is about 1″ wider than the wording. Use the cut-file (<—-right there) and cut the words onto the hot melt adhesive. The words are mirrored to make sure they transfer correctly.

Place the adhesive onto the cutting mat with the paper side down and the rough adhesive side up. Cut the wording out with the Silhouette.

Next weed the letters and line them up on your fabric rectangle. When you put them down they should be the right way now. Meaning you should be able to read it correctly (not mirrored.) Use the paper from the adhesive and place it over the exposed side of the adhesive. So you should have the fabric, the adhesive, the paper. Now grab two pieces of card stock and sandwich the fabric.

Foiling Instructions:

Run this sandwich through a laminator two or three times.

The last step for the foil is to take the paper off and cut a strip of foil that covers all the words. Put the foil side up and the shiny silver side down. Run this through the laminator again with card stop on either side. Run it through three times, making certain that you don’t wiggle or move the foil at all.

Peel the foil off and your patch is ready. You could put the patch on anything or make it into a zipper pouch or a tote or WHATEVER! I put it on a shirt.

Just sew it on (I placed mine a bit askew) around all four edges. I ripped the fabric to make it have rough edges. When I wash it the edges will get even more frayed which I love!
