I've been making t-shirts and onesies as birthday presents, baby shower gifts, and Christmas presents for a while. I take lots of time to very little time to design them depending on how well I know the kid. Is that ugly? I hope not. And frankly, with my skills it probably doesn't make any difference how much time I spend designing them; they'll all turn out about the same.
Here's a couple for Baby Caitlyn:
(The colors on the blue one look weird in the picture, but they were cute in the RL (real life). What?
I think the arrow is pretty funny if I do say so myself. It's not pointing to the Gerber baby on the label, but rather to Caitlyn's face. In theory.
Here's one for Rachel's 1st birthday:
And the back:
All ready to be wrapped:
The problem with these presents is that I'm usually in such a hurry to get to the party that I take the worst pictures! :)
I spent a pretty long time drawing these toe-shoes for a little girl who loves dancing. What is it that compels me to draw what is probably available as free clipart online? I don't know. But I did, and I think they turned out pretty cute.
Gavin's Soccer shirt:
The bottom:
I did this same concept with a baseball and bat, and it turned out pretty cute too.
Simple little Milla shirt:
Sorry about the wrinkles in all these pictures. It was late at night and I just wanted to go to bed! The shirts looked absolutely marvelous when folded. :)
And one I made for my brother with a permanent name badge on the front:
The back had a prospective logo for a business/restaurant idea he has with which he will someday make bank. Maybe he'll give me a share or two for making him this awesome shirt.
I have a couple others more recently made or to make that I'll post after I send them off. It really is fun to make these shirts. I hope that they are enjoyed!
