Embroidery is addictive

This shirt is the fourth shirt I've embroidered. It all started with a present for Moo's best friend. I haven't sewn that shirt or the other, so no pictures just yet!

I had been toying with the idea of taking the shirts I am making for Moo to the market on Saturday and remaking them if they sold, but Mollie saw her shirt this morning and HAD to wear it TODAY. Who am I do to deny my girl? She had to wear it layered over another top as it's still quite cool here especially in the mornings.

Lime Antonia with gnomes


The body of the shirt is Lime coloured "Stella" knit. The sleeves are Hilco Prillie knit. The very awesome gnomes in love embroidery is by the super talent Nic of Luzia Pimpinella as is the mushroom button. Both embroideries are from Huups.
