I haven't sewn much this month, but here is one outfit I made for Maggie. It's a recycling job. This shirt and leggings were made out of one of dh's long-sleeved t-shirts he was going to throw out. The shirt was special because it had been a Father's Day gift. It was made by arasmama of Harmony Threads (http://www.harmonythreads.com) of black hemp jersey, with the Kanji symbol for "father" embroidered on the front. Unfortunately the shirt shrunk terribly and dh couldn't/wouldn't wear it. So when he wanted to throw it out, I had a better idea. I cut it up and made it into the following outfit for Maggie, using Sulky UltraTwist red and black thread for the coverstitching. I think it's appropriate since she's such a Daddy's girl. Plus I just think it looks cool!

I wish I had snapped a picture of the the t-shirt before, but I didn't think of it. It was just a typical long-sleeved t-shirt, with the embroidery over the left chest. The leggings are made from the shirt's sleeves.
