Llama Rama

Once upon a time, I decorated a plain long-sleeve T-shirt with a picture of my favorite pack animal!
Behold—the plain T-shirt in question:

I was measuring it in the photo, so that I could create a life-size template on my computer.

Once I had decided what imagery I wanted on the shirt, I found a photo of a llama online, converted it to an outline in Photoshop, cut it out, and used it as a stencil to cut out some fuzzy fabric.

Figuring out what to use to create the face took me a lot of time, but once I settled on painted felt, it was smooth sailing! I sewed all the pieces to the shirt, and that was that.

I posted this one on my personal blog quite a while ago, but I wanted to see how it would hold up in the wash before bragging about it. The good news—it held up fine!

Have a llovely day!
