How many tshirts does one person need S&S?

I've been going a little crazy making tshirts for myself lately. Here's my favorite modeled, a LWI-look rib knit I found in Shannon's FS pile. Look Alison (I know you're here ), I finally made one with the neckline the "right" way!




...and some more, baby nay polka dots (does this look too juvenile for an adult, DH thinks so?), heathered purple rib knit, embroidered blue/brown LWI, blue, grey and black cotton lycra jersey.



Whee! I've got about 10 more fabrics that are begging to be tshirts as well, but my drawer overfloweth; guess I'll have to start hanging them in the closet!

If you wear your embroidered LWI dye t-shirt and your brown velour pants tomorrow I can wear mine and we can be "twinkies"
I hope the dots aren't too juvenile because I was planning a top for myself out of the brown dots.
Lots of cute shirts

Great tees! One should have an extensive t-shirt wardrobe, imo...(they can be dressy, casual...wash well...)

I love the dots fabric. Honestly, it's the baby nay that appealed to me the most as an adult fabric (which is really surprising considering all of the beautiful florals).

Wowee! Thats a lot of t-shirts! Great job, and I don't think you can ever have too many t-shirts. They look great on you too

I LOVE the one you are wearing! I also like the rest, but I actually agree with your dh... you could wear it with a leather jacket, or a suit coat, and it wouldn't look childish... but I think just that and jeans may be a little too young for me. That is the PERFECT t shirt pattern! I must have it... It looks great on you too!

Love Val

cool!

I was gonna trace one for Mich and she said she'd trace for other mamas. I've been too busy with birthdays and moving into the basement to get to it though
