A Challenge Met

A good friend suggested a sewing contest. I decided to create 6 boy items and 6 Christmas gifts by Christmas. So far I'm 2 down on the boy items. (The hoodie sweatshirt was made before the challenge.) Here is a tee I made for Harrison. More of a lounge/hunker shirt, but he loves it and is wearing it today.

And a shirt for me from a Jalie pattern. Either I measured myself wrong or the pattern just needed a lot of alteration. I had to take in 1 1/2 inches from each side of the shirt and the neckline needed some major re-doing before it was presentable. But FINALLY this gorgeous fabric was made into this cute shirt (for me!). And you get a rare glimpse of me without makeup.
