Yesterday Arjun and I designed a shirt together.
Our influences included this book:

And this movie:
We recently watched the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie. I fell in love with the color combination in Charlie Bucket's outfit. This is the best picture I could find of it. I love the bright green and teal plaid with the navy jacket. I designed a Spoonflower fabric while we were watching and ordered it in an organic knit. By the time it arrived I still didn't know what I would do with it. All I knew was that I was going to combine it with navy and olive.
So.... When we finished our design I chose T shirts to recycle and cut the pieces for a hoodie. I used the body, sleeves and hood from two different patterns and the pocket from the Lil Blue Boo hoodie pattern. I cut out a stencil from freezer paper and painted.
I stitched it all together and then I waited for Sweet Pea to wake up and try it on.
HE LIKES IT! He calls it: "Monsterbrella Trompy-Day"
He wore it to the puppet show at the museum today.
