The boy doesn’t get much sewing done for himself lately, since he basically just wears t-shirts, a hoodie, and athletic pants. Not super exciting for mama to sew.
When this new pre-order round came up at Fabric Anthropology, I knew he would love to get Venom sewed up for him! This pre-order is full of anti-heroes (Venom, Deadpool, Spawn, Raven and Ash from The Evil Dead), along with some great coordinates and watercolor solids.
I have a few more prints to sew up from this round. I just need my sewing room back, as it is currently occupied for a few days as a guest room.
I used the Bram Raglan by Wardrobe by Me, and I lengthened the arms a little bit, which I didn’t need to do. It is PLENTY long on him. He said it was fine, though.
I added the slash marks on the one arm, just to add a little something fun to the shirt. I just cut the black to size and sewed some long enclosed slashes to the red fabric underneath. I opened them up with a scissors (carefully) and then trimmed off the excess red fabric underneath.
I also color blocked the bottom.
The color of the print does veer more towards purple. The watercolor coordinating fabric is more grey by itself (not sure why it looks so purple here), but together with this print I think brings out the purple aspects to it. They look more grey/black on the print file, and they may print that way on brushed poly and French terry. Natural fibers tend to take color differently. This is cotton lycra, so a higher natural fiber content. If you join the group you will see them sewn up by others.
The pre-order is open until November 10!
Love your design on this handsome specimen! Love the color blocking. Think my 2 grandsons would love such a shirt.
Thank you for both! As boys get older it is so much harder to sew for them. I guess it just gets less creative. They aren’t really into overly flamboyant threads, so it isn’t as fun.
