It annoys me every time I see the shirt - but does not bother the boy, he has been wearing it constantly!kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-23773980718696517582011-11-15T11:53:38.017+10:002011-11-15T11:53:38.017+10:00Maybe it's the northern hemisphere influencing...Maybe it's the northern hemisphere influencing me. What's wrong with the cars? The wheels are under the cars, right?

My little one chose the print in chade of navy blue, red, violet, orange and white. And I made a mistake on the sleeves: one is Ok and on the other one the cars are runing the wheels in the airs.... Not to mention the inside yoke and the inside collar, with the same problem. It seemes that only me notice it... My last one, 3 years old, start school this year and "order" this shirt to me for his first day of school, did I mention, I finish it just in time, 2 hours and a half in the morning?<br />My son really like his shirt "avec les petites voitures" ("with the little cars").<br /><br />Anyway this print is beautifull and the boys love it.<br />Hubby said to me he was too old for this print in a entire <br />shirt, but perhaps on a hidden detail, such as inside <br />collar...<br /><br />I think, I prefer the shade of your son'shirt and wanted choice it, but my little one prefer his and was sure of his choice in the fabric store, so...<br />Your version is very nice and your son seemes to be very happy with it.<br /><br />Pascale<br /><br />PascalePascale from Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281433696574699537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-81488407110490751312011-09-27T15:59:49.166+10:002011-09-27T15:59:49.166+10:00That's a wonderful print, and he looks mighty ...That's a wonderful print, and he looks mighty pleased with himself in his shirt.

Clown suit territory.<br />- zipping up a front hoodie and the pockets on either sides are miles apart<br />- unevenly sewn hems<br />- facings with the wrong weight of interfacing that look stiff and bubbly.<br />- garments that are the wrong size but the child has to wear them anyway since you are not going to let all that hard work go to waste.<br />- poor pattern to fabric match - a shirt in fabric that is too heavy or has no drape<br /><br />And.. I'm pretty sure to have done all of them, when I was a young sewer myself..<br /><br />what's more, the best indicator to me that I haven't constructed something well or it looks terrible is when people ask me if I've made it. If they have to ask, it means it stands out in some way. That is never a good thing.Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-36376316047594497262011-09-27T00:29:14.447+10:002011-09-27T00:29:14.447+10:00When I saw your gorgeous Australian answer to the ...When I saw your gorgeous Australian answer to the Hawaii shirt, I remembered this fabric and wondered if you already sewed it up.

I folded the fabric double on the cross grain, which meant that one set of legs had the print on upside down. To save fights, each girl sewed one leg right way up and one with the print upside down. I told them it was so that the print looked right if they looked down at their own legs. Fortunately for me, they seemed happy wit this explanation.<br /><br />That car print is gorgeous, any way you look at it.katherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.com
