No better reason to dust off this ol' blog than to support the fundraising efforts of a good friend, Kelly of Handmade Boy fame! Kelly is a runner who will be running in the St. Jude Peoria run this summer, and she had the brilliant idea to combine her two loves of sewing and running for her fundraising efforts. With drafting donated by Tami Meyer of Love Notions, Kelly developed and tested the Fighter Tee, a relaxed fit tee with contrast side and sleeve panels.
The fit is awesome for my little guy - he got two tees during testing and requested this pattern for his birthday party shirt, too. We had a Japanese lunch and DIY bubble tea bar at our house for family last weekend, and the Fighter Tee was a great way to highlight this cool sushi print fabric.
I designed the vinyl in Silhouette Studio and after a brief debate over whether it should say "miso awesome" or "miso cute" instead, we settled on "miso cool." Cool, indeed. Also cool in this guy's book is his Flash tee from testing, which he grabs from the laundry pile to wear as soon as it's clean.
Want to get your own copy? The pattern is just $5 on Etsy, with all proceeds going directly to St. Jude Children's Hospital - all patients are treated at no charge, so fundraising is essential to their mission and their continued success.
Make sure to check out the other stops on the tour this week for some more Fighter Tee inspiration, too!
