We laugh at winter!

So. Back to the recons. I thought it would be fun to make some winter T-shirts for my little guy that feature warm tourist destinations and bright colors. Here is his Bahamas shirt:

This started out as a thrifted souvenir T-shirt, and a striped turtleneck. I used Kwik Sew 3149, downloaded and printed from sewingpatterns.com. I did not want to mess with a hem, so I serged on a band at the bottom instead. I got an EZY Hem from my MIL for Christmas, so I'll be doing some actual hems soon.

This will make the job so much easier!

I will be making more funky tourist shirts over the winter. Give it a try---it's fun and will cheer you up.
