POCKET TEES

by

It seemed time for a fresh batch of tee shirts. I’ve been playing with a lot of new designs and styles, expanding from just the bicycle-themed shirts. I like having the drawings on pockets–it gives me more flexibility than if I stuck to all-over drawings only.

As always, these shirts are cut from my own pattern. The soft stretchy jersey fits just about any body beautifully! And, they are all available in my Etsy shop.

I call this one Robot Heart, named after a particularly rockin art car at Burning Man. The robots of the future will love and carry red balloons!

I really love these peacocks! It’s such a great bird for stylization and color experiments. Jason even says they look slightly alien. I made one peacock tee shirt and another scoop-neck tank.

Well, I can’t stay away from bicycle shirts completely! This one really spells it out–bicycles are fun, no room for arguments.

Many thanks to Lorraine for modeling these outside the Rendezvous bar in Seattle!

BICYCLE HILL SHIRT

by

This shirt is very similar to the large batch of bicycle shirts I made in March, but I used a different version of the bicycle drawing, which is highlighted by the two ink colors. Also, the jersey is thicker and more aqua than the previous shirts.

As always, I made the pattern myself. The image was drawn on by hand with fabric markers, then heat set. I like the degree of individuality this gives my shirts; even when I’m doing the same design five times each one turns out different.

This shirt was snapped up by a friend for his girlfriend’s birthday, which happens to be the same day as mine.

circus shirt & shorts

Want to know what makes me tick? Check out this interview on Slow Southern Style.

The pink and yellow stripes of the fabric made me feel like I’m at a never-ending circus in my head. All you can eat cotton candy!

I made the shorts for our weekly game of ultimate frisbee, but I get a kick out of wearing the set together. So far I haven’t really worn it out yet, but I think it would be great for a bike ride to the ocean. In the meantime, I’ve been wearing the shirt with a polka dot skirt or pants.

It’s made out of jersey I picked up at Fabric Planet for $1/yd–gotta love that place!

The fabric was meant to have the stripes running horizontally, but since it’s got great stretch in all directions I figured I could rotate it with no problem. Since I was already re-thinking the orientation of the fabric, I went ahead and used the back side. I like that the stripes look a little more painted on, and it hides that the fabric is turned.

The shirt is a heavily modified version of the pattern I made for T shirts. It’s got raglan sleeves that come to just below my elbow, which is an unusual length for me, but I think it works great for this project.
