CycleGal said... Hi Everyone! I hope I answer everyone's questions.
The stencil was purchased at a local art supply store. The brand is Raphael "African Animals". Probably any art supply store should have them.
The art supply store also had the textile paints, or they can be mail ordered from Dharma Trading company.
The shirt did seem a bit larger than a Jalie or KS xs. XS equals a high bust of 31-33. There is a bit more room in the hips than a lot of other t patterns.
PMORRIS, I would use the lingerie top and more from Jan Bones for a cycling shirt...check out the reviews, it has a good sporty look and I have considered adding pockets to the back for a cycling jersey.

ryansmumAria said... WOW! Please tell me how you did your binding and how did you get such a great hem. 6/21/06 9:18 AM
Nancy K said... Great shirt and I love the idea of stenciling a plain t shirt. 6/22/06 8:50 AM
CycleGal said... The binding instructions are from the Timmelfabrics.com web site, there is a whole section on t shirts.
The hem is practice....I use a twin needle, loosen the tension a bit, and lengthen the stitch. I always test a few samples to get it all right! 6/25/06 8:31 PM
TwiliaRose said... Love your top - love the stencil. Textile paint?
Is the paint a fabric paint - it covers the black so well. How did you do that? Love it!
