Dinosaur Shirt and Scarves

Who loves to wear dinosaurs, helicopters, surf boards, planes and sharks on their body? Me!

Summer Graduation 2020 feels like a lifetime ago in some ways and the blink of an eye in others. During the set-up for that ceremony, we were still able to go out and enjoy the market with its fish and its fabric stalls. While waiting for my colleagues to buy their fish, I perused the fabric stall and soon found the fabric that I just NEEDED to buy. People, it had dinosaurs and helicopters on it and was a jersey, the perfect new t-shirt!

While at that market, one of my colleagues remarked that she would be interested in a scarf with the dinosaurs, so at the end of 2020 I set out to making this dream (and/or throw away comment) come true. The scarves, I made two, are just simple infinity scarves, very quick and easy to sew and done within the day. So why did it take me so long to write up this post, you may ask? Well, her birthday was end of January so I waited to gift it until then and second, I’m lazy.

Next to the scarves, I also made a t-shirt. This one was made with my tried and true Free Fun Summer Tee pattern (exhibits A and B). I tried to match the stripes along the side seams and that seems to have turned out pretty well. The hems do curl up a little, but that’s probably got something to with some stitching errors I made. All in all, I’ve just got a tiny bit of this fabric left and finished three projects in a day. Success!
