I've been working on some quilts that I really want to share with you, but I'm not going to. Don't you really hate it when bloggers tell you things like that. I know I do...and here I go doing it too. I'm sorry :( Please stay tuned for them at a later date.
But here are some things I can share now. I've been back into the apparel-making craze and here is a t-shirt I am making. I found a shirt I liked the fit of at the thrift store and brought it home with the intention of cutting it to create a pattern. It wasn't a great looking fabric so I found that it wasn't too hard to cut into. It also had short sleeves and I wanted 3/4 length sleeves. So here's where I'm at with it so far. The hems are all unfinished at this point. This is a cotton jersey fabric and everything on it has been hand stitched so far...even the seams. The stenciling you see here along the bottom is one I cut out of some plastic/mylar material I had laying around. I am currently adding some hand stitching around the stencil shapes.
