DIY Peekaboo Patch T-Shirt

DIY Peekaboo Patch T-Shirt | Club Crafted

DIY Peekaboo Patch T-Shirt | Club CraftedToday’s post is one I was really excited to work on. It’s funny how sometimes my favorite projects are incredibly simple ones, and this simple DIY peekaboo patch t-shirt is my new favorite piece of clothing. I stumbled upon this cute yawning cat patch on Etsy and immediately knew I had to have it. At first, I didn’t know what to do with it, but then I realized it would be perfect peeking out from the pocket of a t-shirt. It was a match made in heaven and only took 5 minutes to make! 

DIY Peekaboo Patch T-Shirt | Club Crafted DIY Peekaboo Patch T-Shirt | Club CraftedWelcome to quite possibly the simplest DIY I’ve posted here on the blog! Maybe some people appreciate that?

The beauty of such a simple project is that you can make your own peekaboo patch t-shirt like this with any patch you’d like. I’ve linked the one I used below if you want to use it, but I also considered making this with a unicorn patch I found as well as countless others. Patches are back and I’m loving it! I remember how popular they were in the 90s, and it’s fun to see these trends make a comeback with a modern flair. 

I’m also suddenly getting into the pink and red combo. I’m most definitely not a fashion-oriented person, but I do try to keep up with some of the trends, and this one gets an A+ from me! I found this pocket tee from Forever 21 and went with the red and pink color combo. It was a perfect match with my red flowy skirt, so I think I’ll be wearing a lot more of these colors from now on. Am I little late to the party? Sure, but whatever. 

Andrew and I goofed around a lot trying to get decent photos, especially because our apartment felt like 100 degrees. I always love the goofy, unplanned shots the best though!

Time: 5 minutes

Supplies:

  • Pocket t-shirt, cotton or similar 
  • Animal patch (I purchased this one) 
  • Iron
  • Dish towel or pillowcase

How to: Lay the t-shirt on a flat surface and smooth out. Position the patch just above the pocket, making sure it sits inside the pocket enough that you can’t see the bottom of it. Heat up the iron on the cotton setting with the steam OFF. Place a dish towel or pillowcase over the patch and iron back and forth for several minutes until the patch sticks to the fabric completely.

Now, if only I could really carry a kitten in my pocket…that would be ideal. Have fun with it! I think next time I’ll have to make a peekaboo patch tee with a unicorn popping out of my pocket. 

Side note: my freckles are coming in like crazy this summer!

    LMFAO!!! I saw on the DIY Bloggers Pinterest board and immediately thought…”OMG…I need to make one with Drake popping out the pocket.” ROFL!
    I’ll have to link to this post when I make it. πŸ˜›

    (And I totally get it, I feel like my DIY’s can be incredibly challenging at times. So I get excited when I find a simple one that can be just as neat.)

    Hey there! Love this! I think you meant to hyper link the shirt and the patch, but it isn’t and I’d love to know where you got your supplies.

      Oops, thank you! I updated the patch link, but unfortunately I think the t-shirt I purchased from Forever 21 has been discontinued. Hope this helps though!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
