Downsized for summer


I loved the blue colour of this man's large t shirt so much that I wanted it for myself

I cut the neck out to make it lower, removed the sleeves, shortened it and cut the sides down to fit, and hemmed all the edges.

I had some blue and brown flowered fabric which was a sample piece I got from the charity shop one time, which I thought looked good with the blue.  I cut a couple of sections out and sewed them on with a straight stitch and frayed the edges for a worn look

Looks like we got a blue theme going here this evening, eh? I really like the placement of the appliqués -- very pleasingly balanced.

I'm in the midst of making one of those denim square quilts with the frayed edges on top and have this sudden hankering to look through my upholstery fabric so thanks for the (inadvertent) inspiration!
