I used the Sienna Dress Pattern by Lil Blue Boo, shortened to t-shirt length. The yellow top of the shirt is appliqued by machine, I added some blue hand embroidery to the border (you can just barely see it on Jessie's shirt, but the stitching is there), and the red swirls and number are flocked Silhouette heat transfer material.
Very Jessie, don't you think? I looked everywhere to find that swirly pattern for my shirt, but came up with nothing. In the end, I just sketched it out myself. After getting the shape right on graph paper, I traced it using a thick black sharpie and scanned the image into my computer. Then I imported the graphic into my Silhouette software and traced the outline to get the perfect cut.
You have no idea how this t-shirt has the wheels in my head turning for Halloween. Thanks to a hilarious suggestion from my husband, Ruby is going to be rocking an awesome costume this year (fingers crossed).

Jill, I love that shirt! Can you make me one that says '51'! :) I love all things Toy Story. Great job!!!
Oh this is awesome!! Great work! I am sure it will be loved and well worn! :)
What a special shirt...SO Jessie!
Lovin those flocked vinyl swirls {the Silhouette rocks!}. Smiles~beth
It turned out soooo cute! I know one little girl who is going to LOVE it!
How adorable! My 4 year old has insisted she be Jessie for Halloween, and since I'm not a huge fan of the store bought version I was trying to figure out how to make it myself... what a great idea with the flocked heat transfer and Silhouette!
Awesome! Is the heat transfer going to wear well over the stitching / applique? (have had no experience w/ the silhouette)
if you one up the aerobic baby, you win big time :)
LOVE IT!!
Oh, cute! I love it. I'm going to have to make my little girl one, two, because she LOVES Toy Story.

Too cute! I'm also relieved to hear that someone else is already thinking about Halloween costumes - it's never too early!
it's soo cute! Now I can't wait to see her costume. ;)
Oh this is awesome! It makes me want to force my kids to love Toy Story instead of Lightning McQueen. This is so much cuter than Cars stuff. Maybe if I play the movie 24/7 they will fall in love by Halloween ;)
Wow Jill! That turned out great! I recently made a Jessie inspired outfit for my niece, too.

Beautiful! Just a comment- You know you can outline any image in the Silhouette program, right? So you can pull up a picture of jessie and outline the swirly. Just an fyi. I do it all the time.
That is so cute! My daughter is going to have a giraffe first birthday party in November. I have been contemplating a giraffe themed birthday dress . . .
Wow. The end.

LOVE this! Of course, I love all things Toy Story, especially Woody's Roundup.
Hi Jill. I wasn't going to leave a link, but I will anyway because the Woody and Jessie tees would look so cute together! http://phesine.blogspot.com/2010/11/embellished-tees-blast-from-not-too.html. I made this for my son several years ago. I bought another yellow tee (this time a polo) and a red fabric marker to make another one.
