Apples 1

Apples 3 

Apples 2 

When I first started making things to sell a few years ago, these apple t-shirts were my favourites. I had a custom order for one last week, and enjoyed doing the hand-applique so much I couldn't stop at one. 🙂

So I made a few in baby-sizes for my shop update tomorrow, using fine vintage cottons from my fabric shelf, in gingham and plaid prints. And one for the boy of the house, who is growing taller every day and seems to need new summer clothes.

Those checked fabrics seem somehow wholesome and friendly to me. Perhaps it's the country/farmer connotations.

    plaids n checks are evergreens in the fabric world, at least that’s what i think. i’d forgotten you make these cute apple applique tops before. very very nice.
    any plans on making the ‘Sam’ doll lookalike again? i missed it the other time. i’m thinking of one for kaeden.
