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

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.

I’ve always liked stripes–I love to see the patterns of lines juxtaposed with an organic human form. I think this contrast is very approachable in bright colors, especially when they match my bicycle.

The fabric is a thin jersey, with the darker teal almost as thin as a burn-out. It’s very stretchy and also drapes beautifully, so it’s very flattering to different bodies. That’s right, different bodies, because I made two of these shirts, and the other is available on Etsy. Continue reading →

The keyhole neck has a striped loop and a ruby button, a decision inspired by Jason’s love of the fabulous. This was an important part of the design but I wasn’t completely sure about it until I wore the shirt out and about, and now I’m glad I went with my instinct.
