This one has been sitting in my UFO pile since the embroidery on the front piece was done. I’m still learning how to play nice with my embroidery machine, and when I finally got this done, I didn’t have time to put together the rest of the pieces.

It took quite a few tries to get the Snoopy embroidery on there right. It was bunching the fabric and just generally making quite a mess. I ended up getting some Super Solvy heavy water soluble stabilizer (wss) for the top and put two layers of tearaway on the bottom. I’m not terribly excited about using the wss again; washing it off was a rather gooey ordeal.

This morning I cut the rest of the pieces for the shirt and threw it together. I also put some fusi-knit on the back of the embroidery. In case anyone was wondering, if the fusi-knit is wrong side up, it does fuse very nicely to your pressing cloth. This shirt is a size 6. The fabric is a purple cotton fine baby rib knit. The lettuce edging will tighten up when it goes through the wash, making smaller curls. Zoe would have lettuce edging on all her tops and dresses if she could. I love it because it’s a super fast finish and very girly.

And here it is on Zoe –
