My first T-shirt

I finally got around to making Auggie a shirt.  I've been making Elizabeth things for some time now, but it's so hard to think of something cute and creative for a boy.  Lately this whole "refashioning" idea has been all ove the sewing blogs I read... where you take old clothes to make it into new.  I wanted to try this 90 minute t-shirt idea from danamadeit.com.  I love her blog.  Such fantastic ideas!  So here it is, plain as it may be.

Here is the original shirt I used... I got it free with membership... though I'm not a member anymore. :)


Pieces all cut up.


Final product!



I added some yellow ribbing to the neckline to make it not so plain. :)

It's a perfect fit!

Look at my hanging cheeks. :)

The shirt looks funny here because his belly is so big. :)



I was surprised to see how well it turned out!  Next project.. a pettiskirt for kate!

  2. katelyn.. carol and pat's baby. A long time ago I told Carol that I would make her daughter a pettiskirt for her birthday. It's a long project.. so I hope I don't burn out. :) Grace, you need to have a girl so I can make her pretty things. :)
