What I didn't tell you was that when I bought the yellow t-shirt for the eye, heart, T, A, T, I also bought two more as they were such lovely fabric AND cheap. You've got to realise this about this OG - I'm as 'cheap as chips' as the saying goes!!!! Let me point out - that's English chips and NOT American ones!!! There's a vast difference between the two!!!
If you look at the top picture you'll see that the garment has a sweet sort of edging already so I didn't want to cover that. The first 'row' is simple split rings joined on one side (the variegated side) with a vsp. I then went back along one side with a lock chain which lock joined into the vsp's. Simple to make.
For the plain thread I used a 'somewhere around 50' cotton thread that I have in my stash. For the other thread I used a Perfect Quilter doubled.
IF I remember I'll show you the completed t-shirt which will hopefully have the same trim at the bottom of the sleeves too.

That looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh, that's sweet. I like the addition of the lock chain. I often make split ring braids ( they're my handbag tatting) but perhaps I should augment them.
ReplyDeleteThat looks lovely! I have a couple of plain pink Tshirts for my girls. Must tat some edgings for them :).
ReplyDeleteYou added the right touch to it! I guess the 2 colours split rings are your signature.
ReplyDeleteI like the lock chain too - that's so pretty and very effective.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.
ReplyDeleteThat really looks very pretty and dressy too. you choose the right edging and colors
ReplyDeletePerfect treatment! Great colours too
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the mystery piece on the previous post. Looks so much fun to tat.
The thread in it looks to be tatted with threads twisted together?
Yes, Fox, HWT - hand wound threads! Not twisted but just wound carefully onto the shuttle!!
DeleteThat is a great t-shirt edging; simple, but still interesting.
ReplyDeleteThatcher is a lovely t- shirt and à very clever tatted design!
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely, lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery unique!!! :)
