Swap opening - Jack's new outfit

Please excuse my photograpy. We opened the parcel when I got home from work and it was starting to get dark so the lighting is pretty bad. I took the photos straight away so everything is a little wrinkled from the mail, and I put them on Jack straight after his bath while he was in the mood to pose.



Look at what we got!

We opened this great package from Jen this afternoon and what a wonderful bundle of clothes she has made for us.



A fantastic button-up shirt covered in tow trucks, other trucks, motor bikes and cars. I think this is a Michael Miller print and there are lots of fabulous details like the faces of the drivers and the names on the trucks. This is perfect for Jack as he is rather obsessed with tow trucks, broken down cars and mechanics at the moment.






The shirt pairs perfectly with a pair of denim shorts with the same print for pocket trims. There is a huge amount of contrasting top stitching and they are really well made.




And my favourite part, a white t-shirt appliqued with a tow-truck towing a car, based on a design from the printed fabric.




The applique wraps around the shirt and the whole think is free-motioned appliqued.....very impressive!



As you can see, Jack thinks he looks rather special!


Thanks Jen, you've done a great job and they will all get lots of wear.
