This Christmas gift is in the books! It was gifted early, because, why wait! I have included the photo path or the build or the How-I-made-this in my 'How-To' section of the web site, for those interested!
 

Figment Big Shirt - Fixed

Bought a shirt at Walt Disney World, in Epcot - a Figment long sleeved, something like a sweatshirt, made of man-made fabrics, more like a woven. It was made as a 'short-shirt', for baring the midriff. Why anyone wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt like shirt would want to bare their midriff, I can NOT imagine. So, while I like the art that is on the shirt, the Figment in multicolor, the shirt wasn't wearable as it was. We had to buy the very biggest size, and then change it to make it fit. The above was the first pin up of what it might become.

I slit the front, added a non stretch cotton, and then added a multicolor zipper, and took it in, to make it something that could be worn. Now, it's beautiful!

August Update

It's been a busy spring and summer! I "vacationed", spending weeks visiting family in other states. I went on an Alaskan Cruise, and traveled by train from Seattle to Sacramento, to Chicago, to Washington and then down the coast to Orlando. I lost a dog, built a web site, worked on a business email project, rebuilt this website completely, made and delivered two quilts, and am working on several others.

Quilt started, one that waits

Early in the year, I was advised that simply purchasing fabric that represents licensed content did not mean that I could use that fabric in another product that I was selling. While this made sense to me from the viewpoint of the original owner of the content, it didn't make sense to me from a consumer standpoint, as I personally made no agreement with the content owner in how I would use the the fabric I purchased. 

I recently learned that the Supreme Court appears to agree with the consumer view. While there will be more lawsuits, I am sure, to really define this decision in full, I think it means I can go back to selling my products! I have resurrected my etsy site, and will be getting more of the products I have made out there to be sold.
