Last week I made this t-shirt for Mike, and I thought it needed a little something extra. We have been having lots of rainstorms that have been a bit out of character for the area that I live in, which got me dreaming of all things Autumn…hot tea, crisp leaves under my feet, sweaters for every occasion, and pumpkins! I used those storms as my inspiration for the detail for the shirt. To make the clouds and raindrops, I used the back side of the fabric that I used for the shirt…it is a little bit darker, and has a different texture. The effect is pretty subtle, so it doesn’t look too much like a child’s shirt.
I put together some instructions and a pattern so you can make one too! If you are making this for an adult, you can use the pattern as is, but if you are making this for a child, you may need to shrink the size of the pattern to fit on a smaller shirt.
Here are the Stormy T-Shirt Instructions. Enjoy!
That came out great! We are having a lot of rain this summer too, and I like the playfullness of the clouds and rain on the t-shirt. Tou are so sweet to offer the pattern. Thank you.
Wow, Kate, this is so cool! Very professionally done!
