A long weekend (my kids had no school on Friday which makes it a 4 day weekend ~ a wholly sensible work/life balance, if you ask me), so a bit more time for making. I don't know what inspired me to make up this little thing, but after coming across this plain brown t-shirt in my little one's drawer, I decided it needed a bit of cheering up. I had a scrap of cool Alice in Wonderland print and some pink ric rac and made up a pattern on paper.
I had some buttons I made myself which fitted perfectly. Here is my button making tutorial in case you'd like to try it.
Now, I am first to admit that I've had my fair share of sewing disappointments and when we know each other better I will probably divulge each and every miserable failure to you. But for now, just know, that when things turn out right (like with this t-shirt) I feel so happy I could dance! In fact, I probably did.
This is darling! What a fun idea!
