Matching shirt

I really wanted to make a shirt to match the market skirt I made.After viewing the pattern tutorial( http://www.dana-made-it.com/2008/07/tutorial-make-your-own-pattern.html) I was wondering if I could do the 90 min shirt for a girl. Then I got curious about making a crew neck shirt, so off to the Abra clothes bag that I still had and there was a t-shirt that I didn't really like but for some reason still had so apart it went!! I followed the same steps loosely with the neck line being the exception. I used the collar from the t-shirt I cut up that Rich NEVER WORE!! He is so funny sometimes!! Then I embroidered some flowers that match the purple in the skirt!! I think that it turned out very well...except the black marker by the arm pit and the stretched out neckline, but it is the thought that counts, right!! Hey, summer time is coming soon and Ava will be outside walking around and unless Tina runs around behind her with wet wipes...wait, she probably will, but this is one of those shirts she is allowed to get dirty!!

  1. Um, I would not want to get that shirt dirty. I love those embroidered flowers! I am thinking you'll have an Etsy store soon.
