This morning I whipped up a little something for my little one and we're calling it a "Solstice Shirt" in honor of the first day of winter.
Nia already had this white shirt in her drawer, but it had never been worn as it wasn't quite as fun as some of her other shirts. So I thought a little adornment was in order and I had a little winter fabric left over from another project.
First I applied some Steam n' Seam to the back of the fabric and then cut out some shapes. Then I stuck them to the fabric by ironing them down. Next I sewed them on.
So far as sewing projects go, this came together very quickly (an hour). If I were better at sewing I could probably do this in 20 minutes. That's how long it really should take, but every time I sew I have battles: bobbin issues, threading issues, thread that looks like a bird nest, etc. Luckily, this time I didn't sew the back of the shirt to the front and I had the forethought to practice the stitch on a spare piece of cloth to find the zig-zag I wanted! This was my first time sewing around a non-rectangular shape, too, which added a little extra time.
All in all, I'm very happy with how it turned out. 60 minutes and a brand-new-feeling shirt for my little one to kick off the winter season!
