everyone needs a silly cowboy print t-shirt

I came right down to the wire, but I finished my Sew? I Knit! shirt this afternoon. I made the Plain & Simple Fitted T-Shirt from Hot Patterns. There are different neck and sleeve options; I made the boat-neck, cap sleeve version. I'll try a v-neck one next, but still with cap sleeves... it is way too hot here in Los Angeles to think about long sleeves! I've been living off lime popsicles and iced coffee. Anyway, the shirt! I used a Munki Munki cowboy print jersey and it already has that broken-in feel. The print makes me smile- I wish I had bought more! The cut isn't cropped by any means (my belly-shirt days ended when I graduated from college), in fact, I think it hits right where more people want their t-shirts to hit, but I have a complex about too-short clothes (hey, I was very tall at a very young age) that I've mentioned before; when I make this shirt again (and I will), I'll cut it longer. I know I'll get a lot of weekend wear out of this one, though!

Of course, I have a couple more piles of sewing projects cut, lined up and ready to go...
