So when I was offered a free T-shirt to match my business cards, my mind was thinking '
mmmmm possible walking advertisement at the knitting and stitching show!' What I didn't expect was it to arrive 2 days before the show in size large instead of the size small I needed!
Results are a quick think on my feet alteration. The sides had to be over locked chopping off half a t-shirt! but as with any alteration job it's just not that simple......
...with too big width comes too big shoulders, sleeves and neckline. Solution:
shaped chopped sleeves, pleated shoulders and pleated folded over neckline.
To add a little quirkiness! I used one of my sample crochet flower brooches to one of the shoulders.
I teamed it with a Eco-linen skirt which is a
different version of one of my dress skirts. It also features crochet textured flowers in yarn remnants.
The T-shirt has a bigger than I expected 'Quirky Little Knits' motif which was a good thing...I was a self walking advertisement. One of the nicest things a visitor said was 'You are the loveliest thing I have seen all day'
