Kid's Clothes Week - August 2016

I love Kid's Clothes Week, and look forward to each season. This time the theme is Celebration. Very loosely interpreted this t-shirt celebrates the holiday and road tripping.  

Show me an almost seven year old not asking "Are we there yet?" on a long road trip. I made a deal with my son - whenever he wears this shirt, he's not allowed to ask me "Are we there yet?" and also, that he's to wear this shirt on every road trip. He thinks it is a fun shirt, so it is a win win (I hope)

The fabric and pattern is from Peek-A-Boo Patternshop - I ordered the fabric a couple of weeks ago, and thanks to Aramex Global Shopper and their handy discount code, the shipping from New York to my doorstep in Polokwane was just R100! Can't beat that.

Making a Grand Slam T-shirt is quick and easy - the only thing I noticed is that the front neckline is a bit high, I trimmed an inch, and will make that a permanent change whenever I make more t-shirts for my children.
