April 3 and I have a finish?? Wow!?!?!

This is one of those finishes that you just want to slap your forehead and say Durrh - why did you wait to do that??

Back in October my family visited "The Dish" in Parkes NSW as part of our school holiday excursion.

While we were there we found these adorable shirts with aliens on them and both my boys wanted one.

Unfortunately for my 10 year old, he does not fit 'kid' clothes anymore, so I promised him I would cut up his alien shirt and stitch it onto a shirt that did fit properly.

So after 5 months of sitting on the table I cut, I sewed, I finished.
 (And it took only 5 MINUTES, only 5 minutes, arrrgh)
 

I have one EXCITED son with a unique shirt.
 Durrh - why did I wait so long to do finish this??

Great T shirt finish... it's amazing how we do keep those projects waiting that are really quite easy finishes...

Because we quilters cannot really be expected to do such mundane things as household sewing and repairs !!!
I'll bet he's happy now!

Terrific idea!

A lot of us are guilty of that same thing - but your son has his shirt now and you have another finish. Looks great and a good idea so he didnt miss out.
