I don't think I've ever been so famous on the internet as that Batman top made me. I even stumbled upon myself, twice! Thank you all. The amount feedback and attention my Batman shirt has brought me is beyond gratifying; the sheer love, astounding. I can't describe just how encouraging it is to know the "You done good, girl" isn't just in my

It's amazing how easy it is to forget that oh yeah, recons can use patterns too! I like how you combined the two.

Aye, it looks great on you. I'm liking the unconventional color of the stripes.

I love the stripe detail on the sleeves and neckline! How flattering! You should give yourself two pats on your back for the batman top and this one!

How do you applique the skully bits?
We have some gorgeous old t-shirts from early sci fi conventions Oscar attended, and I'd love to add them to his new shirts that fit his size these days.

I didn't, actually- the skull is a printed design from the original long-sleeved shirt. I have appliquéd a skull in this post, however: http://corvustristis.livejournal.com/47074.html .

To appliqué a design from one shirt to another, I'd probably just cut it out neatly and sew it back on with a zig-zag stitch. It helps, however, to use some kind of interfacing or stitchwitchery to keep the design steady. Check out this post (and particularly, the links in it) for more: http://corvustristis.livejournal.com/28560.html

Maybe practice on some not-so-sentimentally-important shirts first?

Good thought about practicing, I usually jump right in!
I have some of that stuff in my quilting swag. Cool!
