My youngest, Mallory, turns five today. All she wanted (well, almost all) was a Hello Kitty party. Since she had a party with friends last year, it was a party with family this year. So, she got to watch her brothers eat on Hello Kitty plates, use Hello Kitty napkins and drink from Hello Kitty cups. 
When I was younger, I was lucky enough to have a Sanrio shop down the street. I remember saving my money to buy My Melody pencils and erasers and a Little Twin Stars wallet. Back then, Hello Kitty was a bit more unique. Now you can find it everywhere and as much as that takes away from the uniqueness, it does make it easier for a mom to pick up all these trinkets for her daughter!
For her birthday shirt, I appliqued Hello Kitty holding birthday balloons on to her shirt. 
I just used the napkin from her party and put it right in the copy machine and enlarged it a bit. I then, used the picture as a pattern for the applique. 
Happy Birthday Mallory!

We did HK for my daughters' last Birthday party. Same plates and everything. :)
What a great idea to make a copy of the picture for your applique!
Happy Birthday, Mallory! What a fun way to celebrate...the t shirt is a perfect touch. :)
No way!! She can't be five! I am seriously in a state of shock at the moment. Guess it is time for another....
Very cute! Makes me wish I could sew! n____n
Five?? Really?? What a beautiful little girl!! And what a darling shirt. Incredible. I loved your story about the store when you were little. So fun to walk down memory lane and have your daughter love Hello Kitty like you did. Hope her day was magical!
Oh man! My daughter would LOVE this!!!!!
