I have been wanting to do this shirt FOREVER. I first saw a version of this a year ago on a blog and immediately thought - awesomeness. I bought two white tees for kate - both a little bigger than her size because I know myself. Sometimes it takes a little while for me to have the time to make my ideas realized and I didn't wan the shirt to be too small by the time I actually made it. This gave me at least a year of procrastination. I bought two shirt so i would have a chance to immediately redeem myself if I screwed-up the first one.
Then I thought about it. I considered how to do it... would I paint, draw or ink it. Should I measure everything out first....What kind of ink would not wash out and fade quickly? I want it worn but to last too.
This is not my normal tendency - usually I just jump in but I was trying to be "wise". In the meantime the photo form the original blog I saw swept through the blog-o-spere and Pinterest. Now everyone liked the idea and surely many people were doing their own shirts.
ugh. now I am just being trendy.
So I shelved the project and let alot of life happen.
Yesterday I found the shirts while sewing and did what I should have done int he first place. JUST DID IT. It did help that I had fabric markers on hand this time.
And I really like it - really really really like it. Now I have a bunch of other ideas. Thats what happens when you give life to and idea....it spawns.
