How to Make a Simple BYU Shirt
So, if you've been reading this blog for a while you know I Love making BYU shirts for my kids.
Usually my go-to way of making shirts is Freezer paper and Fabric paint-- which I love to do. It's super easy and looks great. It just requires a lot of time-- for drying.
A couple weeks ago it was time again for new BYU shirts for the ever-growing kids, but this time I decided to incorporate my favorite outlet-- Sewing!
This way of making shirts look really great and Bonus you don't have to wait for paint to dry so it's really quick!
Here's how to make your own:
MATERIALS NEEDED:
1. Heat 'n Bond adhesive
2. Print out of Y logo
3. Fabric, for background and Y
4. Iron
5. Sewing notions
6. Blue T-shirts. (I usually grab cheap ones and stock up)

STEP ONE: Gather materials.
I used ribbing fabric for the white which looks great.
STEP TWO: Cut out fabric and Heat 'n Bond paper to size of Y's.
Trace the ovals and Ys onto the smooth side of the Heat 'N Bond paper.
ATTENTION: Make sure your Y is backwards when tracing.
This will ensure it's the right direction when you're all done.
STEP THREE: Iron bumpy side of heat 'n bond onto the wrong side of each fabric.
STEP FOUR: Once all ironed, cut each oval and Y out.
Peal off backing of ovals.
STEP FIVE: Iron oval in place on shirt.
Remove Y backing paper and iron white Y in place on the oval.
STEP SIX: To hold everything in place stitch following the edges of the Y and the oval.
Make sure to pick coordinating thread.
All done and ready to wear!
Ready to go and support those Cougars!
