I used Figgys Tee for Two pattern. I added a cowl neck to it the first time. Do boys wear cowl necks? It didn't look right and I removed it and so the collar woes began. I then had to unpick the collar once more and it still isn't perfect. I think being sewn a couple times was really stretching the knit and squirting it with water and ironing wasn't really helping.
Another reason to love a two year old. Their ideas. I had a picture in my head of this shirt, elbow pads and a deer head silhouette. When I shared my idea with Loo he corrected me " an elephant" , I countered with a fox and we wound up with an elephant. Don't argue with a two year old. I like that it's what he wanted, not what I did.
I also really like the old man elbow pads. Not to leave Beri out I made her a Tee for Two dress.
This was an old shirt of mine. Have you ever had a shirt you thought looked good then saw another person wearing it and been thought, hey that's ugly? That's me and this shirt. It happened at a demolition derby and I haven't worn it since. I kept the original hem for both body pieces and I cut out the sleeves with the cuff still attached. Made for a quick and easy sew. It's waffle knit so it will keep her warm and cozy.
Can you please stop being awesome? You're making me feel like a major slacker. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the elephant, it is exactly what my son would have said. He also would have informed my that it needed to be blue. I don't consult with him. He's too tough of a client.
ReplyDeleteLove the stripes. Great re-purposing.
ReplyDeletethese are both so great! my daughter would love an elephant tee like that (she has a stuffed elephant collection). where did you get the template? please don't say you drew it freehand!
ReplyDeletelove the elbow patches. love it all, as per usual.
ReplyDeleteI adore that sweet little t-shirt. It's absolutely darling and the elbow patches send it over the top. I really want to try my hand at making some. And funny enough, I just made a Tee for Two with a fox on it. :)
ReplyDeleteso cute! both of them. I need to make a few more tee for two dresses. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the elephant shirt! The stripes with the solid shape and the elbow patches really work
