“We fight. That is how we win, that is how we die.”
Ragnar to Bjorn, Season 3, The Vikings
Look familiar? Well, I did make my hubby a t-shirt with that saying on it from fabric from Fabric Anthropology. The panels were adult only, though. My girl reads a lot of Y.A. books on female assassins (Sarah Maas books, mostly), so she kind of wanted this for herself, too. I knew the panel would be too big for her small frame, so I went ahead and used the quote with a font I found on 1001fonts.com. I drew the Viking Seax and the runes at the bottom.
The back of the shirt has this on it, which I also drew. Weeding out the tapestry was a PITA, so it didn’t necessarily turn out the best. It’s small, though, so I don’t think the “errors” will stand out that much.
Yeah…super fun.
She originally wanted red vinyl on a black shirt, but I am out of red vinyl. I did have red bamboo lycra, though, so we compromised by switching up the colors. She liked an off the shoulder RTW shirt she got for her birthday, so I used that as a base pattern. It didn’t stay off the shoulders when she wore it, so I modified a few things, and I think it turned out pretty “cute”. You know…cute, for a war-like shirt. 😉
She said it was “Perfect!”. 🙂
Wow, great job on that weeding! It all looks very impressive!
Thanks! It took me a while to actually cut it out…I wasn’t looking forward to that weeding!
