Sawtooth Heart Hand Embellished Recycled Tshirt Med

Description

At first glance, this heart looks frilly, until you realize that the pattern is based on a saw blade! This is another original design by yours truly. I have altered a gently worn, recycled lavender tshirt.

This particular design combines applique & reverse applique. The dark blue & mesh is hand-sewn onto the surface of the shirt, while the recycled tiedye fabric is under the shirt. I then cut through 3 layers of fabric to reveal the underlying colors. This gives the image more depth. Stitched & reverse applique veins radiate out from the heart, and activate the back, as well. I used hombre marigold embroidery floss for the stitching.

As usual, the printed "Toolgrrl Designs" fabric tag is sewn into place with marigold thread, so that the stitched shape of a heart is visible on the back.

This is a large tshirt made of suuuuper soft 100% Cotton. Very comfy!

Measurements:
Bust (unstretched): 29”
Length (shoulder to hem): 24 1/2”

Because I rely on thrift stores & surplus outlets for my garments, I rarely have 2 of the same kind. When I am deciding how to alter each piece, I respond to each garment's characteristics, so the end result is a unique, one of a kind creation. I take great pride in my work, and I uphold a high level of craftsmanship. I want my customers to be satisfied!

I recommend hand-washing my garments in cool water & laying them flat to dry.

If you have any questions, or would like to see more pictures, please let me know!
