I made another shirt based on the Rose T-Shirt pattern. This time I used a piece of free-standing lace, or FSL, that I made on my embroidery machine. For more about how that works, see this post.
And yes, I realize it’s sleeveless and therefore looks like more of a spring top. But I’m jealous of all you people that get to have fall. Once upon a time, we used to have rain, and fall, but instead we have a terrible drought and heat. Today in Texas the high was 90. So I have to make my own fall clothes, because the retailers all have cute sweaters that the rest of the country apparently gets to wear. It might get cold enough for that here. In January. Maybe.
Some more pictures
Maybe if the weather here ever cools off I'll make one of these with sleeves.
