These two makes both got finished between Christmas and New year. The blanket was started around easter, but with other projects taking priority it has been neglected for a while. It's just simple granny clusters and has been my in-between project, for when I felt like making something, but didn't have the concentration for anything complicated. I don't have a recipient in mind yet.
The tractor t shirt was started and finished all in one day on New Year's Eve . My nephew whose birthday is 2nd January is going through a keen tractor phase. We saw some cute Tshirts which I nearly bought, but they were £25 each! I couldn't bear to waste so much money on something so simple. I decided to buy a T shirt and add some appliqué.
Unfortunately it wasn't quite so simple. The really tricky part was finding a plain T shirt to start with. It took a lot more hunting than I expected. The buttons were a lucky find, and the applique luckily all went quite smoothly. I am pleased with the outcome and I hope that he is too.
