A Fun & Fuzzy Boston Terrier Shirt

Silhouette Heat Transfer Tutorial - Boston Terrier Shirt

This little fuzzy boston terrier tee is so fun! I used the Silhouette craft cutter for this project and I was seriously shocked at how quick and easy it was to put together. Usually I can muster up the energy to make something once, and then I’m done- no more for awhile. But I could definitely see myself making a few more of these custom shirts! :)

I used the flocked heat transfer material for a soft and fuzzy texture for the BT. I was little concerned at how clean the cut was going to be since the material is so thick – would it really cut all the way through? But the backing peeled right off. Whew!

You can even layer the flocked heat transfer material right on top of one another. Tip: I found it was easier to peel off the backing if I let it cool for a few minutes after ironing.

The flocked heat transfer material is really soft and velvety! Not at all rough or “felt” like.

Silhouette: Trace Outline Tutorial – Here’s the tutorial I used to get the outline of the boston terrier. You can even use your own photo!

Silhouette: Heat Transfer Starter Guide (PDF) – And here’s how to use the flocked heat transfer material.

Boston Terrier Template (ZIP) – You can also download the boston terrier template I used if you want! Just in case you have been blessed with the terrorizing stinkiness of a BT. Or maybe a frenchie? Or cutie-smooshy bulldog? The files have even already been mirror-imaged for cutting.

If you don’t have a Silhouette yet, you could also use this template to cut the pattern from old t-shirts and sew them on to make a brand new tee – like I did with my original boston terrier shirt.

Or you could check back on Friday. I have some very special Black Friday fun planned! :)

Have a great Thanksgiving!

    My mom has a Boston (Daisy) that she loves more than me! ;-)

    I’m going to attempt to make one of these to give her for Christmas. She’ll flip!

    I am sooooo behind on my blog. I want to check out a couple of your blogging tutorials first–my blog needs to be beautified, don’t you think? Anyway, I think this won’t count for the giveaway, but I would like to try etching some large rocks located in various spots around our farm. The glass etching technique most intrigues me. What great gifts one could make!!!

    I am a HUGE fan of your tutorials. I have used the blog background for a while now, but as I’m sure you know Blogger has gone to their new templates and stuff…. do you happen to have updated instructions for the html coding? The old way doesn’t work….
    THanks

    I so wish I could make this shirt. You know how some people have two left feet? Well, I don’t, but I do have two left hands. I have two BT’s, Maggie and Mia and I would love to celebrate them by making this shirt for me and my (human)girls :). My sisters and their families each have a BT too. Maybe I will attempt the shirt for all us. It just seems complicated. Wish me luck! Oh, thanks for sharing. :)

    Thanks for sharing this cute shirt! Love the pink heart detail and the nose and tongue look like hearts too. We had Boston’s when I was a kid…great little dogs.

    Girl these are adorable!! Everything looks so good on you too (it’s the figure, when you’re that skinny nothing can look horrible on ya).

    I LOVE this!! My in-laws all have BT’s, the newest being Molly who is 5 months old! My 3 year old and Molly are BESTESTEST friends!!! I can’t wait to make this shirt for my daughter. Actually I was thinking I’d make it this afternoon before we head out for Thanksgiving, but the files are in .GSD format and I can not open that. Any suggestions or is there a way to post them in another format?? I just want to print it and use fabric with wonder-under. You rock Amanda!

      Oh, you are so right, Sharla! I didn’t even think about that. I just added the JPG versions to the zip file. Thanks so much for reminding me! :)
