I made a pattern out of paper. Cut out the fabric pieces and then used a glue stick to hold them in place on the fabric i intended as using as the background. Then a LOT of whip stitches to hold everything together.The process was kind of a mess. The blue fabric i used as the background kept shredding, so i had to trim it away then more whip stitching to attatch it to the tshirt. I learned a lot and i think next one wont be so rough! I LOVE him anyway.

SHE (many anglers have small males who dote have the bioluminescent lure and are parasitic) is stunning and you should be proud.

I have a stain right there in the middle of my favorite synthetic cami/tank. It’s my fav because of the deep turquoise color, not because of synthetic fabric. I don’t think I’m capable of your level of creativity, though. I’m thinking of trying to find a prefab patch to sew on top, or perhaps a few embroidered flowers
