Tutorial: Zombie Apocalypse appliqued t-shirts

Nike from Thrive shares a tutorial over at Riley Blake Designs showing how she made these Zombie Apocalypse Halloween outfits her kids. The outfits feature prints and designs from the Zombie Apocalypse line by Emily Taylor Designs. For the shirts, she recreated some of the motifs from the fabrics on a larger scale using appliques and buttons. She used her Silhouette Cameo to cut the designs, and she includes a link to download the files for free. For the pants, she used a favorite pattern, but altered it to create zipper edged side patches. Go to Riley Blake Designs for her tutorial.
