For weeks before the big trip, the kids counted down the days, cheered me on as I sewed their jackets, and helped me make their Twist T-shirts! I used a link from Nick Jr for the iron-on.
I bought yellow shirts at Wal-Mart and Michaels. Michaels did not carry small enough yellow shirts for my toddler. The yellow shirt I bought at Wal-Mart had a pocket, but I was able to use a seam ripper to fix that. I think the shirts came out great! The boys thought they were cool! My oldest even asked to wear his to school!
The Rock Star jackets were a bit tricky. I bought shiny material at Wal-Mart. Little did I know the material I bought would be a challenge to sew. It was slippery!
Then I purchased Tulip Glitter Fashion Transfer Sheets for the stars. I ended up ironing them on. If I had to do it all over again, I would run a stitch around the edge to prevent them from falling off!
No matter what, the boys had a most excellent time! The jackets were a success and the Fresh Beat Band was rocking!
PS My niece even had the chance to be ON STAGE with the beats! How cool is that!
