Kids T-shirt - fabric painting, Goldfish design on White T-shirt

Yesterday, while arranging Baby S’ cupboard, I found a plain white T-shirt along with some of her last year’s unopened birthday gifts. It was inside a gift box called Finger painting for kids.

The box contained this pain white T-shirt, some rubber stamps, and some washable watercolors.

Baby S was super excited to get messy 😊😊, her intention was to get her hands dirty and put paints all over her room. She wanted to paint the T-shirt with her fingers, but I knew if I would have allowed her, the paints would have ended up more on the walls and floors rather than the shirt and then 3^rd world war would have started between the father and daughter duo 😨. I didn’t want to waste my Sunday getting caught between them. So, I convinced Baby S that I will do a nice design on the T-shirt and she will get to choose the design from my kid’s collection.

She chose this one;

Now, I was super excited to paint after such a long time. Thankfully, I had all the colors I needed in my stock. Sunday afternoon and evening were well spent. No world war and Baby S was also very happy after seeing the final outcome 😍.

Art really has a soothing and relaxing effect on your mind, what do you say??

Hand painted Conch design on Short Kurti

 Last year, my Maasi visited us from Kolkata during Durga Puja. Durga Puja also called Durgotsava is an annual Hindu festival originating in the Indian subcontinent which reveres and pays homage to the Hindu goddess, Durga.

As per mythology, the festival marks the victory of goddess Durga in her battle against the Mahishasura, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.

Durga puja is a ten-day event and a widely celebrated festival, shopping season for communities celebrating it, with people buying gifts for not only family members but also for close relatives and friends. New clothes are a traditional gift.

My Maasi, in the excitement of meeting us during the puja did a lot of shopping and gifted me a couple of nice sarees, she knew how much I love sarees 😊😊.

One of the sarees came with a running blouse piece; however, I paired that saree with a different blouse, so this blouse piece was lying around my cupboard.

It was a nice comfortable piece of cloth, so I made a short Kurti out of it and hand-painted it fabric paint.

Its looks ethnic isn’t it, now I paired it up with a grey cotton trouser 😊

Love for Linen

 Last weekend, I was doing some decluttering and work from home cleaning. Found a very nice light green linen shirt in my hubby’s closet. He had lost some weight; hence the shirt was of no use to him and he almost forgot about that shirt, he happily agreed to donate it, lucky me 😊😊

I always had a thing for linen fabrics, they feel so comfy during the summer months.

Now action time; I chopped off the collar and the sleeves of the shirt, made a round neck, refashioned it to my shape, made a side slit on both sides and now it’s ready to wear. Wait! it’s too simple and plain, let’s be a little bit more creative.

As the shirt is light green, I took some long-pointed leaves from my garden and did some dark green leaf prints with fabric paint on it, added some orange dots here and there, and voila!!! I got my own linen shirt.
