Cape Cod T-shirt

My husband has been going to Cape Cod nearly every summer since he was a child.  I was inspired by the One Yard Wonders contest on Spoonflower to create a t-shirt for him for his birthday this year.  I printed my Cape Cod Boats fabric on organic cotton knit and sewed a t-shirt for him using one of his t-shirts as a template.  The design continues on the back of the shirt as well.  Despite his serious look in this photo, he assures me he loves the shirt. 

26 April 2013 edit-----Here he is again in the shirt looking much happier this time.  :)

Just got back my proofs from Spoonflower and was super excited by how great they turned out.  The colors are terrific and really strong. My original Rose Argyle designs did not show as much contrast printed as they do now with the revisions.  This is why it is important to get samples.  Also it is much easier to see the scale of the print when looking at the actual swatch. 

My Cape Cod Boats design is brighter on a white cotton woven material than the organic cotton knit print shown below.  I like the earthier colors of the knit.
