Applique tees worth the double take

Applique tees worth the double take
I know, I know, another appliqued t-shirt for kids. Or at least that's what I was thinking until I got my hands on the adorable creations by sisters and moms Autumn Durbin and Erin Payne of Noodle and Meatball.

There was something appealing about their classic hand sewn designs that made me want to see more, and I'm so glad I did. Each piece is carefully appliqued using a variety of fabrics on soft, bright cotton shirts. Of course, I'm partial to the Ready for Take-off shirt for my plane-obsessed son, but I'm loving the 25 Cents gumball machine design too.

So yes, they're another appliqued tee. And one you really must have. -Kristen

All Noodle & Meatball shirts are $20 through 11/30/08. Grab one now!

Congratulations to Elizabeth M, winner of her choice of tee from Noodle and Meatball!
