Announcing to Family {PIP}

PAAZwife · October 2011

DS loves trains, so I made him this shirt to announce the pregnancy to our families. He'll wear it next weekend when we visit my family and then he can wear it when we Skype with the ILs after that.

I thought about explaining it, but then I figured if I did that I really did a bad job with the shirt. I sort of think the train looks like a tractor...oh well!

That's adorable! I was just looking at announcement shirts on etsy because I'm a little crafty, but I can't sew. I'm not sure if I'll order after my 7 wk appt or wait until after my 11 wk appt, but the announcement shirt will be more for the general public than our families.

So cute!! I already bought DS a "Big Brother" Shirt and even though he hasn't worn it yet, my Mom came over the night I got my BFP (and the day I bought the shirt) and I told DS, "Show Grandma the new shirt Mommy bought you tonight." Then he brought my Mom the shirt and she figured it out and started bawling!! Your shirt and idea is great!!

No, don't worry! It's not the shirt- it's me! lol

So cute! My brother/sister in law did this with their little one and took us a while to figure it out lol (their children are going to be very close together though). I just figured it was a hand-me-down!

Very cute - we plan to do the same thing - shirt and skype/facetime

So cute. Mind telling me how you did that? I might just try to make one instead of spending the money on one from cafepress.

Print letters off your printer onto thicker paper (cardstock). Cut out the letters. Iron "Steam-a-seam 2" (the 2 is important because it is double sided} onto the back of your fabric following directions. Trace the letters onto the back of your fabric. Make sure that the letters are going the right direction when you look at the right side of the fabric. Peel off the backing and iron the letters onto your shirt. I stitched around the outside of mine with my sewing machine, but you don't have to...the edges of the letters will just fray a bit.
