Costumed Crimefighter

My new friend Gina asked me to make a shirt for her unborn niece. It appears that the daddy is a BIG superhero fan, so Gina requested a girly superhero shirt. I have to admit I'm not so good at freehanding logos and things that are supposed to look like something besides a letter or digit, so I was a bit nervous about this. But I surprised the heck out of myself and came up with not one, but TWO shirts for the little one!
I cut a Batman logo out of a foam meat packing tray, and used that as my stamp. Isn't that just so creative and out-of-the-box? (Can you hear me applauding myself! I'm so corny.)

I ended up making two shirts because at first I couldn't find a pink six month onesie and only found a pink 12 month tank top. And then, of course, I found the six month shirt and decided to just decorate them both. Gina has promised me a photo of her niece in the shirt when she is born and can fit in it!

EDITED to add photo of the little cutie in her shirt. So sweet!

OH! I hadn't seen this yet! Meagan is, or I guess, will be famous. I totally forgot to tell you how much her daddy LOVED the shirts. You should have seen his face light up. I also gave him a Transformers book for her too. :) Sorry for my absence over on this blog. As soon as my computer works right, I will follow you!
