So having adapted one t-shirt and made a waistcoat I kind of stopped sewing. I eventually realised it was because I didn't want to commit to any big projects until I felt I could do them well, and couldn't do that without practice, and for small projects felt unmotivated by any sense of getting a piece of clothing I would like at the end.

Then I remembered that I don't learn/do crafts/art by working my way up from small simple boring projects and learning the proper techniques as I go. I have to muck about making things up as I go along most of the time.

So I decided to just play about without worrying too much about following instructions or doing anything properly, and it was fun and I got a wearable shirt out of it.

So, before:

You can't really see it but I added a bunch of spirals. Because I could :D I'll try to remember to post a clearer pic after it's washed and less creased.

I hope nico_wolfwood isn't offended that I used the sewing machine she and mandragora_2003 gave me to torture the shirt she and EE got me :)
