Why I never throw away scrap fabric!


This customer needed something fun on this striped shirt and also a Birthday shirt for her little boy.
She chose the Birthday Candle and requested green gingham since it is the Birthday Boy's favorite color.
The striped shirt posed a bit of a problem. It has the distressed look (which I ADORE) and it made it a bit harder to match up with some of the more popular plaids and ginghams that I am using these days. Then I rummaged through a bag of scraps my mom had given me a year ago...and hit JACKPOT! This two-tone blue fabric was left over from a pair of pull on shorts she had sewn for one of my (many) boys 5 years ago!! Needless to say, it is perfect for this fun "J"!!
