Tutorial: Valentine’s shirts for boys

It’s so easy to come up with a cute Valentine’s shirt for girls. Pink, hearts, ruffles get center stage. But what about our boys? Emily from The Boy Trifecta shows off a couple of the Valentine’s shirts that she made for the boys in her life, and shares tutorials showing how she did it.

First is a robot with a happy face and a bright red heart. Awwww…. cute!!! Get the tutorial for the robot applique.

And then there’s the shirt with the heart skullie applique. The skull and crossbones is all boy, but the heart-shaped eyes fit the Valentine’s theme. Get the tutorial for the heart skullie shirt.
