Stencil looks great...shame about the tee shirt

Adam and I stencilled the fabric for this tee shirt ages ago, and I finally sewed it together tonight... I'm a little disappointed with the fit of the tee shirt.

Adam loves it so I suppose it doesn't matter too much, plus the fabric is lovely and soft - perfect for bedtime :)

This is the stencil. It was printed onto freezer paper and cut out with a very sharp craft knife...I had claw hands by the time I had finished.

Adam painted the colours on...I was so proud of him. He was super careful and did a great job!

This is the finished picture after the stencil had been removed

Adam - admiring his handiwork :D

Top for boyo...

This started its life as a man's top...but the man who owned it, did not wear it...

So, using a top of Adam's as a template and some help from Dana

It has a new life :)

Ben Ten

Ok, for those of you who don't have young boys (or ones who have nice, serene boys who don't like Ben Ten) this is Ben Ten. He is a superhero who can change into an alien. I blame DH who gets him the DVD's.

The top is made from an old white tee of mine and a black one that Adam and I picked out from the charity shop especially for this project. I chopped off the black neck and arm bias tape from the black tee, cut a strip for the front, bish bash bosh..Ben Ten tee! He was chuffed to bits with it as you can see. He turned into Ben Ten in front of my eyes.

The pants I made from some jogging pant material which has been in my stash since I first started sewing. It's not my favourite fabric as the quality is not too great. I wont buy it again, I'll just chop up old joggers :) The pants still need pockets, and a label in the back to stop him putting them on backwards.
