Talonflame Pokemon Tee

Distracted by Le Tour, I've been staying up late and handstitching while sitting on the couch. But with a rest stage last night I figured it was time to catch up on some blogging.

So here's P in his birthday t-shirt!


The image came via Deviant Art and an artist: Yonaka Pinku who seems to have a thing for drawing Pokemon.

I cut a freezer paper stencil of the main colour blocks then freehand painted the black lines for the detail.

The fabric stash yielded just the right combinations of red and grey fabrics and dark grey ribbing and then I mixed my paints to match the fabrics as closely as possible while remaining "true" to the Pokemon colours.


He absolutely loves this t-shirt and it's in heavy rotation being worn again the moment it's out of the wash and back in his drawer. Pretty pleased with it myself!

Details: 
Pattern: Oliver + S Field Trip Raglan Tee
Size: size 8 with body and sleeve length of the size 10
Fabrics: Stash knits and ribbing
Paint/Stencil: Reynold's Freezer Paper and Setacolour Opaque fabric paints.

      It's my favourite part of sewing. Every bit as cool as anything you could buy but awesome-r because it exists when i make it, but doesn't in any shop!

    Truly amazing. I love the way you coordinated the fabrics with the pokemon's colours (or should I say, the other way around). I bet P's friends are all jealous!

      THanks. Perhaps too much so, but when I get an idea there's no sleep til it's made!

      Thanks Masha, it was a nice stencil/paint job to do. Detailed but not ridiculously so.

      Oh that's so cool Sharon. Does he sell prints or make any revenue from it? I'd love to know more about how it works. I see the 'forum' side of it, but not being a member, don't know anything more about it.

      ha ha, well, a skilled copyist, but thanks. :) As per my comment to Sharon above, it's important to recognise who created the original image
