new improved Gnome T for Maura

The Penny Carnival Back To School Sew Along continues! 

This is the second gnome shirt for Maura with this fabric.  The first one, made this spring, is so shrunk it is now only for pajamas.  This one seems perfect!
Pattern used: New Look 6321. I made the XS size for her. It's so hard to find the right size for her right now, she's too big for the kids and a little small for the adult patterns.  This one seems good!

  1. Sorry to ask, but I was wondering if you could make the exact same shirt but in kids size 10/12. Also could I send you a pair of gray vans and you could do the exact same Totoro design as you did for your daughter? You are very artistic. How do you find the time to do all of this?

  2. Also if I can't send you a pair of gray vans, do you mind buying it for my daughter in a size 2 and do the totoro design on there as a favor? So sorry for the inconvenience.

  3. I wish I had the time! So sorry I can't help. Thank you for your positive comments. Feel free to print out the photos and ask someone you know to copy them. I sketched out the designs on the canvas sneakers with pencil first then used a fine point sharpie to outline them and then filled the designs in with fabric paint on a brush. Good luck. Also for the gnome shirt, I used a standard raglan t shirt sewing pattern and got my fabric at thefabricfairy.com.

  4. Thank you anyways! With this time of year, everyone is very busy so I understand. Actually, I am myself an artist but I am not so sure about doing this. I'm afraid I might mess up! Thank you for letting me know on time!
