A Big Hero Tee for School!

We love this movie! And this fabric, yum! Crisp print, great medium weight and the colors! Wow the colors!! It was so hard to just pick 2 coordinate fabrics for this one. There were so many colors that I wanted to use and they would have all matched.

 

Tristan wanted to try this one on right away. For my tee, I just used the basic raglan tee from Ottobre. I cut a couple of pockets in the panel and lined the back. Boxers are fishsticks and I think they are my favorite pattern for boys boxers.

If you are a seamstress, you need to check out Makie Madie Knit Prints!! She has some lovely fabrics in stock and you can find the Hero panel in the pre-order section of her store.

You can find her store here. She has a great Monster print too that would be perfect for back to school! You can find this one in the retail section. Happy Sewing!

Making Madie Knit Prints

My favorite thing to sew! Sewing scrappy for my baby boy! I love fabric! Seriously, I love the smell. I love when it comes out of the dryer, smelling freshly laundered. I love folding it. I love walking by my shelves and just staring at it. I pretty much love everything about it!

I have been eyeballing this new tee that everyone is sewing up. I am not big on patterns at all, so I just took my favorite Ottobre raglan tee pattern and went for it. I think they came out pretty good. I can not wait for my baby boy to wear them to Kindergarten!!

I have saved some of this European rocket knit off to the side, just for Tristan. I love the colors! I actually had the coordinating knit, BUT I decided the teal stars from The Knotty Babe matched my fabric just as well and gave it some more punch!

Love the stitching on the pockets. I don't know how I ever sewed knits without a coverstitcher. Seriously, if you don't have one and you sew knits all the time, invest in one. I use the Coverpro 1000 made by Janome. It took a while to get used to it, but most of my machines have. Super user friendly once you get the hang of it!

I love robots too! This fun European knit fabric has a lot of robots that look like the old tin kind from the 50's. It's a really nice thick fabric, so vibrant!

Oh and because there were 2 prints, I couldn't resist putting robots on the back too. Can't decide if I like the front or the back better.

Back to my real world business sewing tomorrow. I will try and blog some more this week. I can't wait to sew up some more tee shirts for Tristan. Maybe I will sew up some matching shorts too!
