First, is a cute kissing goldfish top that I made to match a pair of pants Dorothy has in her closet. These pants were featured with a pumpkin top I made for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Those holidays have come and gone, but the pants still fit and I hate seeing them sitting here, not being worn. This wasn't quite the style of top I had in mind, but every store has their long sleeve tops on clearance and it was all I could find in her size that would work.

How it looks all together. I think I'll have her wear this to gymnastics this week. |
I also made another Kermit shirt for a friend. I signed up to send a hand made item to the first five people who responded on facebook. This is the first completed item, but I won't say who it is for. I only had four folks sign up, so I'll do something for the first person who comments here that they are interested. I have the second project almost complete, and I think I know what I'm going to make for the other two. I also kept with my own idea to try to make things out of what I already have. I did have to purchase the shirt, but I had all the components to make Kermit. I think the only thing I am missing for my other projects is some elastic. Yay, for de-stashing a bit.
I was planning on doing this on a white short sleeved shirt, but there weren't any that would work when I went shopping. This grey shirt was all I could find, and while I was a little unsure at first, I love the final product.
This has become one of my favorite designs. |
