Fall Leaf Shirts

The promised "Fall Shirts" are finished and worn today!


I had to pin on all the leaves. I made all the arrangements different, so they wouldn't all look the same!






Here is a close up of the leaves pinned on.
Next, came sewing the leaves all on. It took about 45 minutes to an hour to sew 1 shirt full of leaves.
Here we are all wearing our shirts. Although not much of the tatting shows!

I had to get out the fall tablecloth and snap a "portrait" of the kids in theirs!
I don't know what I'll do to hold my "backdrops" when I don't have someone in a crib--currently I drap one end over the side of the crib and let it hang down the side and just have the kids sit on it!

The shirts look great! And this kids took a very nice picture. You made quite the variety of leaves - I'd rather tat them than sew them on. The tribulations of wanting to make cloth beautiful with tatting...

Beautiful tatted leaves. A wonderful picture of your family in their special fall leaf shirts.
