Because 'play clothes' can be cute too...

Many of you have expressed interest in buying embroidered & appliqued t-shirts for your children. I've seriously contemplated putting these in my etsy shop but with 3 small children there aren't enough hours in the day for me to take it on. But here's what I've come up with instead...

For over a year now I've wanted to embark on this endeavor and life has simply interrupted me. A house renovation, a pregnancy, and a new baby have all prevented me from moving forward. Well... now I'm ready! I've designed several toddler t-shirts and I'm going to start with these 2 designs and see what happens. There is nothing fancy about them and that is what makes them special. Most {but not all} of the designs have a clip art picture with a Bible verse below. I hope that they will not only encourage your young children but also help them to learn scriptures and Bible stories.

The designs will be screen printed on a short-sleeved t-shirt made by Rabbit Skins. It is a 5.5 ounce, 100% cotton t-shirt and has a more "tailored" look than other "boxy/beefy" type t-shirts. This shirt is very flattering on both boys & girls {and is the actual shirt pictured below}. It tends to run a little on the small side and if in doubt order up a size. They come in 2T, 3T, & 4T. I will be taking orders by email {darby613@gmail.com} for a week {please don't order in the comments section}, when the shirts are in I will email you an invoice and you can pay me through Paypal or personal check. The shirts will be mailed Priority Mail {$4.80 and I will combine shipping for no add'l charge} and will hopefully arrive to your door in 3 weeks. The shirts will cost no more than $16 a piece. The more I print the cheaper they get and of course I will pass the savings on to you!

Now, in my best "used car salesman" voice, if you put a link to this blog post on your blog and advertise for me your name will go in a hat and you will receive a FREE shirt of your choosing! Email me or post your link in the comments!

Here are your two choices and if all goes well... I hope to have more for the fall & Christmas holidays!! And I apologize the pictures aren't any bigger.

1) Selfishly, I have designed a CUTE Auburn t-shirt. It has a "vintage, Aubie-looking" tiger on it and reads "War Eagle!" It will be printed in orange.

2) This t-shirt has a very simple whale and reads "From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. -Jonah 2:1". It will be printed in navy blue.

Ok, I think that's it! For now at least!
