Covering up a stain: The Spider Tee Shirt

My son got into some paint and stained one of his shirts. To be honest I've been waiting for a really good stain to give this a try. My friend Jessi sells cute appliqued tee's in her shop and I've been wanting to try one.


  1. He picked out what he wanted on it. (I let him look through some Mini Boden and Chasing Fireflies catalogs to get an idea. I love that he chose a spider, Halloween is coming!)
  2. I took some black cotton jersey fabric and ironed some interfacing on the back.
  3. Drew a spider on the back and cut it out.
  4. Placed it on the tee so it covered the stain
  5. Pinned it and sewed around the edge twice.
He says it's his favorite and he never wants to take it off.
