So, of course, I start with a re-fashioning of a thing I made a year ago... The kiddo likes big piles of blankets, which is something we have in common, and I go through phases where I'm happy to sew lots of blankets. I decided I'd use his too-small Angry Birds and Bad Piggies t-shirts to make a little t-shirt quilt...only...yeah. I rushed it, and not a thing was on grain, and I tried to force it to align with the backing cloth...and it didn't...no matter how much stitching I did through all layers...
I don't think I ever showed it here, so...taadaa:
...and looking relatively nonwonky thanks to the magic of photography. The camera lies.
I presented it to him and he immediately forgot about it, so I eventually--quietly--removed it from his blanket stash. I didn't know what I'd do with it, but the time I'd taken to make the patchwork seemed to make it worth saving.
Since he loves jackets as much as he loves blankets, I decided I'd see if I could squeeze a jacket out of it, once the backing was removed, and I chose this pattern
