I thought I'd share a quick tip: You can make really awesome graphic tees by making a plain white tee, and applying temporary tattoos to the front. I found my temporary tattoo booklets on amazon, you can find everything forom samurai warriors to celtic designs, fairies, mermaids, hummingbirds, pirates... well, you get the idea. ;)

I used here the same pants pattern : design by Jude, now at this Web site, http://www.fletcherpatterncompany.com/index.php?act=viewCat&cat...

this short isn't presented as pattern but I used the pants pattern and shortened it. I cut the fabric and placed the pockets by eyes. I sew them by hand, then by machine to be sure they were in the right place. the buttons are scrapbooking embellishments.

for the T-shirt I used another T-shirt as pattern. it's open in the back and closed with a snap.

 

the boxer short is made with the same light jessey as usual, 2 eyelets allow a cord at the belt.

the T-shirt is in very light (and a bit transparent) brown jersey. I had to sew it, all by hand as the fabric seems too delicat and slipery for my sewing machine.

 

the Hawaiian shirt is made of jersey and the short in made of cotton (I used the same pants pattern for the short and cut the shirt by eyes (i didn't sew any snaps as it's meant to stay open)

recycled grey jersey (from the bottom of a shortened sport legging)
the brand is a label I recycled from the tommy's T-shirt (green/white) I used to do previously a dress for Kate.

this boxer short in made of jersey I used a pattern from "designs from Jude"Ihave shortened a pant pattern.

Fabio (Matt O'Neil from R.Tonner) is complaining because I am always sewing for the girls!!

so today I made him 2 pieces of underwear and started to prepare some patterns to make suits/shirts during the next couple of days. . I have to say that My guys have barely enough to share.
