Creative Halloween Cotton T-Shirt for Women with silkscreen printing on 100 % cotton blue grey T-shirt. Sewn lace around the collar. Stitched a black button as the body of spider and hand painted it's eyes.
STORY: This is my favorite T-shirt because it has a beautiful story behind it. The story is nothing to do with Halloween though....XD
When I lived in Barcelona, I had a roommate named Luis, who was from Valladolid (Central Spain). He left his hometown to get over his mother’s death. After several years, he took a long vacation to clean up his mother’s old house for rental. After the vacation, Luis came back to Barcelona with a lot of antiques. He gave me a big sewing basket with lots of sewing notions, dozens of different colors of threads and lots of antique lace. At that time I had just started to sell my T-shirts at some boutiques in Barcelona and he thought I might need to use them on my future designs. What a nice roommate!
I never thought about using lace on T-shirt before, but to show appreciation for his kindness and to not waste that beautiful antique lace, I decided to give it a try. I kept this motivation in mind. After a few months, when I was wandering in a bookstore, I saw a children’s book. It was about a spider who moved into a big clean house, and its first thought was: what a boring place, it needs a lot of my knitting! So the spider knitted a lot of decorations in that house… but when it had almost finished its fabulous decoration in a corner, the housekeeper kicked it out… ( Apparently the housekeeper doesn't need to the decor...XD)
I enjoyed that cute book very much and I also got this idea for a spider knitting lace. Before the spider had finished its work, it fell down!
THE WAY I MADE IT:
THE WAY TO WASH IT:
Hand-wash it, or turn it inside-out and put it in a laundry bag to machine-wash it.
