Periwinkle Striped Heart over Trees Hand Embellished Tshirt Medium

Description

A striped heart hovers over the lacy treeline. This is a new tshirt that I have transformed with screenprinting and hand-sewing, just for you!

There are 2 layers of tree color: the white trees are superimposed over black trees to give the image more depth & variety. The heart is printed in pale pink on striped fuschia and purple fabric & then sewn into place with hombre yellow doubled up embroidery floss. As you can see from the pictures, the tree pattern is printed all the way around the tshirt.

As usual, the printed “Toolgrrl designs” fabric tag is hand-sewn into place with contrasting thread, so the heart-shaped stitching is visible on the back.

I use water-based screenprinting inks, which are much safer for the environment. As they are worn and washed, the ink becomes softer and will acquire a slightly distressed look. My brother-in-law has a tshirt I made him two Christmases ago that I KNOW he throws in the dryer (not what I recommend), and his tshirt has acquired a lovingly-worn look.

The tshirt is 95% cotton/5% spandex and it is periwinkle color. Super comfy and stretchy! The original tag said it was a large, but it looks more like a medium to me. Please note the exact measurements.

Measurements:
Bust (unstretched): 34"
Length (shoulder to hem): 24.5"

Because I rely on thrift stores and surplus outlets for my garments, I rarely have two of the same kind. When I am deciding how to alter a garment, I will take its characteristics into consideration, so the end result is a unique creation. I take pride in my work, and I uphold a high standard of craftsmanship. I want my customers to be satisfied with their garments!

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!
