I Made a Shirt

My first since I had sewing lessons from my Mom when I was 10. I believe the fabric was white with gold hearts back then. So, it was kinda fun, although I must have had to pick out 17 seams. A stitch in time really does save nine, who woulda thought? I'm a speed sewer though, I just want to get it done as quickly as possible, but it's hard to get it done quick when you sew the sleeve on in the wrong direction...twice.

Front

Back, yea I know, looks the same.

Oh man. If I lived in California I would totally have you teach me how to sew. That shirt is so cute! Speaking of sewing, if I paid you would you make another blanket for Jane?

So cute-very impressed, not with your sewing abilities (you are way talented in that area), but in finding time to actually sew it.
