the 90 minute shirt

i've no idea how long this took me to make, it may have been a little under 90 minutes,  as i did cut a few corners! i'd had this tutorial bookmarked for a while now, thinking i would be making one for little O, but as it turned out G got one first, 
it was a rush job, as i remembered at the last minute that he was supposed to wear yellow to school today (nothing to do with the election, but purely for the privilege of bringing a plant in for the school grounds!) well of course he had nothing yellow to wear, i panicked, but as luck would have it, i had an old yellow gap vest & some grey knit fabric lying about, 
just don't look to close, panic sewing at 10pm is not what i'm best at, still he was happy (oh to be four again & so easily pleased)
it was far easier than i'd thought it would be & i would love to make one again, but maybe take a little more time on a better finish, 

*gold star to whoever can guess who he is impersonating in the last photo?* 


edited to add - well done Alex, you guessed it, he does a very good mick jagger impression, if i had any idea how to upload a video i would have to share it & thanks again Alex for coming to the rescue with the debbie bliss pure cotton yarn! i'll now have plenty to finish the granny blanket with!
