I know it's September 1st. But... it's Labor Day. So it's kind of fitting (right???) to start the sharing of the last of my Sew Cheap Summer Challenge projects. Confession: August got away from me. It was busier than I had anticipated. When I last posted in July, I thought it would be a breeze to finish this challenge. But that was not the case. For almost the entire month, I lost my sewing mojo. But it's back. And I just spent this long weekend catching up on my sewing. Today, I have the first of my final four projects to share with you- the Gobble Gobble Turkey Shirt.
Who: This is for a niece.
What: My inspiration for the project was this shirt by The Cottage Mama. I drafted my own pattern pieces which ended up being super easy.
I bought the t-shirt at Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago and then used different scraps of fabric for the feathers and body. It was a great scrap-busting project. In addition, I believe I sent this same niece the striped skirt (project #1), so she should be able to wear the two together. Happy coincidence!
Cost: The shirt was clearances for $2. I had the fabric, thread, and interfacing already.
