A short time ago, I came across Ginny’s blog over at Aunt GiGi’s Craft Corner, where she was stitching up a storm during during what she called “T-shirt extravaganza 2010.”
First up, an oven mitt, inspired by Up in My Grill, project #40 in Generation T: Beyond Fashion. I love the brown, pink, and blue color palate! Click here for a peek at the reverse side.
Next, an apron, inspired by Central Cooking, project #41, also from Generation T: Beyond Fashion. Though the apron design in the book is only one-sided (but double-layered), Ginny cleverly made hers reversible. Click here to see the other side!
Then, the “It Ain’t Me, Babe” babydoll dress (project #22 from Generation T: Beyond Fashion) to which she added contrasting patch pockets. (Thrifty note: Her husband paid 25 cents for the Google tee at a yard sale!)
Oh, and then there’s the “Plastic Surgery” grocery tote (project #42, from Generation T: Beyond Fashion). As you can see, Ginny’s been busy–she didn’t call it a T-shirt Extravaganza for nothing. (Also, love that she found an old-school Hypercolor T-shirt for this one!)
And lastly, the Pin-Up Girl halter top (project #1 from Generation T: Beyond Fashion), which she expertly finished with a gorgeous brooch.
Very unselfishly, Ginny made all of these projects as gifts for friends! So here’s your little reminder that those gift-giving holidays are slowly creeping closer, and there’s nothing like a gift of the handmade variety. (And, should you decide make a project from Generation T or Generation T: Beyond Fashion to show how much you care, don’t forget to print the free, downloadable gift tags located in the right column of your screen.) Happy making!
