So after an hour of being in my head wondering what I was going to do I decided to put everything away. I kept out my embroidery machine as a reminder of the wasted hour. By 9pm after Anastasia went to bed I finally had an idea. At 9PM! I have no clue why I do this to myself. I must not enjoy my sleep much.
I knew I wanted to make my daughter a Halloween shirt. I had been putting it off for a few weeks and had been doing so much for other people, be it photos or other designs. So it was time I did a little something for her. The previous day I managed to make 5 different style of headbands. I think my husband almost had a heart attack seeing me use all the materials I bought over the past few months (yay for me.) Not to mention I had been wanting to build a headband stash for ages just never had the time or motivation. I'd even look online to buy some headbands but I'd stop because I knew I had the materials to make something very similar. But there I'd sit and wait. So yay for that.
So there I was knowing what I wanted to do but her one black shirt that I was going to use was in the wash. Damn... I knew I had a bunch of blank white onesies so I started thinking again. I couldn't use the design destined for her black shirt, so had to come up with another idea. Seemed like I was back at square one, like earlier in the day. Pinterest and Google images are a god send. Slowly I started piecing together a design based on the photo inspirations.
After all was said and done by 12:30 I was adding my comfort interlining fabric and this beauty was done. Not bad for essentially a days worth of work and thinking. haha. The shirt went well with a burlap headband I had made the day prior. I love it when outfits come together like this. Moreover a sense of gratification that it was made with a bit of love and is in it's own little way, unique.
