My baby boy is growing so quickly…he turned 1 year old at the end of January and is growing and changing more each day. It’s fascinating to see how different he is from his big sister. He’s more mobile and curious than she was at this age, but also more observant and quiet. One thing is for sure, though – he gets into a lot more trouble than she ever did!
One day, my husband looked at him and said, “You’re just trouble, looking for a place to happen.” Evidently, it’s actually a phrase people use…I’d never heard it before, but thought it was a perfect fit for our curious, get-into-everything little boy! So, onto a shirt it went :-)
I love how easy it is to design, cut, and iron on heat transfer vinyl to shirts for my kiddos using my Silhouette. (If you’re new to using HTV, check out this post for a full tutorial.) Start to finish, this shirt probably took me 30 minutes! I found the shirt at Old Navy – that’s my favorite place to grab blank kid’s shirts. I stock up when they’re on sale (I grabbed this one for $2!) in a variety of colors and sizes so I always have a blank shirt or two on hand for any given holiday or occasion…or whenever inspiration strikes! I get my heat transfer vinyl from Expressions Vinyl.

He may be trouble- but he’s so adorable!! And the shirt is, too! I need to make one of those for my sister- she may be in her 20’s, but she’s still trouble!
What font did you use for the ‘trouble’ part? Love it!
I remember when ALL my boys needed that shirt. Course that was a long time ago. Cherish every minute….they pass WAY too quickly.
Cute T-Shirt and super cute little guy!! I have one on the way any day now. Great project.. Love everything about it!
That is why they are so cute, because they are usually trouble! Haha! Love this shirt and it looks great on your son!

Hi! I just love this shirt and want to make one for my little trouble makers.
Can you tell me which font you used please? Or maybe I can have a copy of the file where the text is converted to a path. When I open the file from your side it come differently in my silhouette studio and doesn’t look as pretty as your design.
Thanks a million for your respons!
Kind regards, Kim
So sorry about that Kim! I’ve fixed the cut file, so you can re-download it with the correct fonts :-) (And the font I used for “Trouble” was Langdon, just in case you were wondering!)
Hi what font is the trouble font. It isn’t the same as yours.
Hi Renita, I’m sorry about that! I’ve fixed the cut file now so you should be able to download it with the fonts as they should be. The font I used was Langdon.
Thank you, sooooo much!!
Thank you for the free file!!! I would love to make for my grandson, but can’t figure out how to get the shadow effect. Could you help me out? Thank you
Hi Mary Jo, do you mean the shadow effect on the word “TROUBLE”? That is built-in to the font, so it’s already in the cut file…just cut, weed, and iron on!
Love this svg. Perfect for me. My husband calls me trouble.
Your son sounds like a bundle of joy and mischief! It’s amazing how unique each child’s personality is. The “Trouble looking for a place to happen” shirt idea is adorable and creative. It’s great that you find joy and ease in creating personalized items for your kids with the Silhouette. Looking forward to more of your DIY adventures!
Love hearing about your baby boy! The shirt idea is so cute. Can’t wait to try it.
I’ve found toddler-trouble shirts to be both practical and playful for young children. Their durable fabrics where to buy vintage clothing withstand spills and active play, while fun designs keep little ones engaged. I focus on comfort and easy washes, making these shirts a staple in my experience for managing toddlers’ busy, energetic days.
That shirt is absolutely adorable — kids really do seem to come preloaded with “trouble mode” and it’s hilarious watching their personalities unfold. If anyone is on the hunt for clothes that can actually keep up with that level of curiosity and movement, especially for outdoor adventures, it’s worth checking out https://www.redelk.it/en/ — an outdoor clothing brand that makes durable jackets, pants and layers designed for active families. What I really like is that their pieces aren’t stiff or overly “technical”; they’re warm, breathable, stretchy and built to handle messy playgrounds, hiking trails and unpredictable weather without restricting kids who never stop moving. Plus, the neutral earthy tones make them easy to mix into everyday outfits, so you don’t end up with clothes that only work for camping trips. For little explorers who collect mud, climb everything in sight and magically find puddles everywhere, outdoor apparel like this can be a lifesaver — durable, comfortable and long-lasting enough to survive multiple growth spurts and siblings.
