So I was told that my niece had requested a PINK shirt with Boba Fett on it. Well....that kind of started an avalanche of shirts. True confessions: I tend to buy shirts to applique when I see them on clearance or a really good sale, and I don't always remember what all I have. So when I went looking, I discovered 14 total shirts, including 2 long-sleeved size 6-6X shirts (current size), 4 tank tops, and 8 short-sleeved size 7-8 shirts. Then there are the numerous size 7-8 long-sleeved shirts that will not be discussed....
So I started digging through appliques and fabric scraps, and eventually matched templates/fabrics/shirts together. Nine went the Star Wars route - including 2 Boba Fetts (one is on a tank top). I'm especially amused by the R2D2 from keyboard fabric.
And then I threw in some random others, just for fun. It amused me to use a paw print fabric for a paw print applique. The butterfly is leftovers of a neat print that I used for bias tape to bind a baby sling. The Pokemon bunny is leftovers from boxers for Things 1&2. And the skeleton animals are leftovers from a project that hasn't yet been finished.
I sent seven shirts in the first box - both the long-sleeved shirts and 5 short-sleeved. The rest of the short-sleeved shirts and the tank tops will go in another month or two.
