DIY Sewing a shirt with stick figure :D

I don’t know what made me come up with the idea of stick figures, but I really wanted to make more of these shirts.

Make a fantastic shirt from grandpa’s undershirt pattern

I think single-colored shirts are so boring and somehow I got the idea to make stick figures on the next shirt.
I didn’t know exactly which figures I wanted and just googled stick figures.
I came across the figure with DUTY. On its own, of course, it’s deadly boring, so I came up with the idea of combining it with at least 2 other figures.
I now knew what I wanted, but it took me a weekend to find the right pictures.

I bought the vector graphics and had them printed on the two pattern pieces.
At first I wanted to machine embroider it, but it was supposed to be a thin, light summer shirt and a print would be better.
How do you like the result? I think it’s great 😀

Make a fantastic shirt from grandpa’s undershirt pattern

I’m sure many have a grandpa who liked to wear those white undershirts, even under shirts? 😀

I am currently sorting out my fabrics. Over the years I’ve bought lots of fabrics because I thought they were so pretty, but I’ve never had a plan for what to sew with them.

Because it’s too bad to leave them in the closet any longer, and sometimes I don’t even remember why I bought them 😀 I give the fabrics away in the sewing course.

I found these two fabrics while sorting out. Only 1 yard of each. You don’t have that many options for what you can do with them.
That’s why I googled and googled and googled 😀
At some point I came across a grandpa pattern and chose it for the shirts.

I adapted the pattern slightly because my fabrics are cotton and not jersey.
Here is the result. I added some decoration so that it doesn’t look so boring with just the fabric.
I like the result ❤

DIY My first polo shirt

Posted on July 10, 2019 by justelly1

I love polo shirts. I guess I have at least 40-50. Long sleeve, short sleeve, in all colors.

A few months ago a colleague came to work with a shirt. It looked like a normal shirt but was as long as a mini dress and had a ribbon on the sides. I was blown away.

Unfortunately I couldn’t buy the shirt anymore.

But hey, I can sew hehe

And because I have a liking for polo shirts, I changed my shirt accordingly.
Look at it!
