Special Custom T-shirt Orders - A Unicorn & Rainbow

I just love getting special custom orders for kids tee's because it gives me an opportunity to make something extra special that I know will be really appreciated!

Most of the custom t-shirt orders I get are for birthdays or other special occasions, and the one below is no different - except - it is honestly my favourite, favourite custom t-shirt that I have ever had to make. I just love it to much!

I wanted to share how exactly I go about making these special custom t-shirts, because a great deal of love goes into making them and it certainly doesn't happen overnight!

So.. firstly, I get a special request from someone in an email for a custom t-shirt, and sometimes they even send a photo or image of what they want. This is usually great news for me because it gives me a better idea of what I am going to make. I also ask if there are any specific colours that they want me to use and gently remind them that I am unable to copy an image, but will gladly make my own interpretation of the image for them.

This special custom tee was for a little girl named Hannah, and her mom wanted it for her fourth birthday party, which was a "Rainbow and Unicorn" theme!.. Of course I was SMITTEN! I love rainbows and unicorns so you can imagine my excitement!

So, the first step is to draw an image of what the tee will look like - like this:

Then I put in the other details

.. and email it to the client to have a look at and let me know if I am on the right track.

Then I make a "stencil" with the paper drawing and use it to cut out the felt... like so:

I place the felt pieces onto the custom t-shirt and pin them in place. I send another photo of this to the client to confirm they are happy with the colours and so forth before I start sewing - 100% BY HAND :)

After many hours.. ta daaaaa!!!

It's done! I send a sneak preview to the client in another photo and then off if goes into the post, ready to make a little girl very happy!

Isn't little Hannah just the cutest ever! I am so glad that Lime Green Bean could make her day extra special!!

I really love this custom tee - I should have made one for myself! A BIG thank you to Hannah's mom and to Red Dot Photography for allowing me to use these photos!

Have a happy day and may your days be filled with rainbows and unicorns too!

Such lovely photos!

Lime Green Bean had such an awesome time at The Fat Olive Organic & Craft Market this past Saturday. I met some fantastic people and it was so lovely to feel part of a community. I will definitely go again when I can :)

I wanted to take some photos of my stand, but.. as luck would have it my cameras batteries were totally flat! Fortunately Tiaan was super kind and offered to take some for me. He has a whole bunch of other photos of the market on his blog, so be sure to have a look!

Aren't they lovely? Thanks so much Tiaan!!

What I think about when I am sewing...

When you are going something you really love to do, what do you think about? Perhaps you think about what you are going to make for dinner, or the heaps of work that are waiting for you at your office tomorrow..

When I am sewing a new custom tee for one of my clients I think about many things. Mostly I think about what the little person I am creating this t-shirt looks is like. Does he or she look like his mommy or his daddy? What makes him laugh and what does this wide world hold for him or her..

I also think about my Ouma Julie, who was the kindest most amazing person I know. I always think that if I can only be half the person she was, I know I am a good, kind, considerate person.

To be honest I say a little prayer. I pray that the little person wearing my tee will be blessed endlessly with joy and love, and that the world will be kind to him or her and they will grow up doing what they love, like I do. Little people are so special. They need to be nurtured and loved while they explore the wide world.

It makes me so happy to get emails from my clients with a photo of their happy little person wearing my tee, and when I received these photos today, I was so honoured. Look how cute he is!!!

Bless you little Wally! I am sure you bring your family heaps of joy, you sweet little guy!

Have a look at my facebook page for more photos’s sent by my lovely clients of their kids in my custom tees. Please feel free to send me photo's of your kiddo's in Lime Green Bean tee's to info<at>limegreenbean<dot>co<dot>za

Take care,
Bean
