    I love the retro look. It’s been forever since I’ve made any shirts. I think I’ll make some with your awesome download. Thanks.

    Inspiring post. I know Kent would love to make his own shirts and your tutorial is a great way to start.

    Plus, Brittany from Tangled & True must be tickled pink that your managing her blog while she’s away. You’re golden…

    Do I want some… funny. What would I do with it? Unless you are you going to make me something I most likely have very little use for it.

    I was just trying to picture your place and remember if you had a chair with that fabric. I like it though.

    Those shirts are so cute. I actually bought all the supplies (last summer) to do this freezer paper stenciling thing so maybe I’ll get around to it this summer. I love the number 2…great idea for my soon-to-be-2-year-old. Also, so cool to see you posting over at Tangled and True. :)

    Thank you SO much for this post; I had so much fun making MYSELF an “Oh Boy!” t-shirt for my little guy on the way.

    I can’t wait to use the bird stencil for an upcoming baby shower gift.

    I’m not so crafty, but I tried this out and learned that cutting out letters is hard! What kind of exacto knife do you use?
