I find t-shirts are a difficult piece of clothing for me to purchase. Part of it is color. Part of it is fit. Part of it is quality. I want a t-shirt to be able to hold up to more then a couple of washings. I do not wish to be choked. I like long sleeves. And every time I find a t-shirt that fits those parameters, the company who made it changes something in their process or stops making what I like. My best friend has the same problem.
I have a treadle sewing machine so fabric that stretches is not really the right choice usually. Recently I went down a rabbit hole at the Alabama Studio sites. Such a bad thing.
Hand sewn t-shirts. Organic cotton jerseys. I decided to give it a try. It was a lovely calming process. Such that I wish to do more hand sewing.
Felted seams. Herringbone stitching. My best friend has a t-shirt to try. I have a t-shirt to try. I am now working on Christmas gifts that are teaching me reverse applique. I just keep trying and learning new things. It is a true rabbit hole!
And just because. Flowers from my garden.
