Another T-Shirt.
Here is a close up of the front …
I put a dragonfly on the back…
It is for a little boy in P’s class. Both the frog and dragonfly are from here and the patchwork Pictureframe I digitised myself and you can download it from here.

Easter T-Shirts
I’ve made the girls Easter T-Shirts. The above is the front of A’s and below is the back.
The Sunbonnet Sue is from here and the flower from here. I didn’t stabilise enough, so the fabric is a bit puckered on the Sunbonnet. I attached the embroideries to the T-Shirt using a small zigzag stitch and Sulky Invisible thread in the needle. This did involve lowering the needle tension quite a bit, but I’m happy with how it turned out.
This is the front of P’s
And the back …
The designs are from the same place.

Second Anniversary and a Give Away
Today is my second blog anniversary! When I started I thought it would be good to keep a record of my craft activities and it has been useful – a couple of times I’ve looked back to see how I did something.
I also thought it might help me to focus my energies, but it hasn’t. I still have heaps of unfinished projects. I start something and then get distracted by something else.
The image above (because I think all posts need an image) is another T-Shirt applique. I used my embroidery machine to foundation piece the quilt block.
To celebrate my second anniversary, I’m going to give away one of my T-Shirts (like this one, or these or the russian doll or maybe a dinosaur or sunbonnet sue or maybe just a name). Anyway, to be in the running for one of my childrens’ T-Shirts leave a comment by Friday the 20th at midnight (Perth Australia time – GMT + 9)

Applique T-Shirt
Another T-Shirt commission. Here is a closer view of the front …
Here is the back…
And a closer view of the back …
I’m really pleased with how this one turned out – very girly.
The font is Love Letters from GG Designs.
The Strawberry design on the back is from Itty Bitty Spring Fling from Designs By JuJu.
The heart and circle I digitised using Thred.
Tomorrow marks my Second Blog Anniversary and I’m thinking of some kind of give away (probably a T-Shirt like this one).

Advent Calendar – 8
I finished in time ….
I’ve also been putting little presents in the pockets as well – hair clips, stickers, lolly snakes …
I’m also making some christmas T-Shirts.
I didn’t stabilise this enough – see all of the puckers? And it took two hours to stitch out – with all of the thread changes and careful cutting of the applique fabric, but I think P will be happy with it.
Below is the one A picked – this is just an image from Embird.
I haven’t decided the fabric yet (which then determines the thread colours). I’ll use a layer of romeo in the hoop to try to eliminate the puckers.

More Embroidered T-Shirts
Another T-Shirt – design from here – on my machine it takes 49 minutes of sewing time (more real time because of all of the colour changes).
