My latest t-shirt refashion begun with 4 thrifted t-shirts. My initial idea was a double-layered t-shirt, Alabama Chanin style with reverse appliqué. That did not work out because of inconveniently placed logos.
So I went ahead with a regular applique on a tree theme. The pink t-shirt that the refashion is based around had Pooh embroidered on the front, I turned that into the back and the tree appliqué is because he lives in the woods (do you remember the story?)
It was fortunate that I had two t-shirts that matched to cut the sleeves from. Those long sleeves take a lot of fabric.
Here is the back in process with the Pooh embroidery that started the whole thing.
Here is the front. Then I decided it needed a little more of something.
That is when I added Pooh with his balloon.
Here it is complete.
And on.

That applique is beautiful - excellent job :)
You know I really love the front with Pooh and the "Hundred Acre Woods", but your art work looks well done and artistic, that the manufactured logo on the back looks out of place. It might even take away from all the pretty stitching you did (which totally looks like the Alabama Chanin inspirations). Of course, that's just my view. You might love it to death with the logo as is. In which case I say great refashion, wear it with pride! :o)
