    this will be great - is a grand gesture too - no more work just a little guy to snuggle!
    Hope your summer was bearable with the little guy!

    What a great use for old work shirts! We're not allowed to send ours to the op-shop with the logos still attached and they usually look pretty awful once you've removed the pocket or unpicked the logo so that is a fabulous idea.

    Good luck with your making!

    So, did the husband work in these shirts or were they a Thrift scoop?
    Thanks for letting me know about the knit beanie. I'm not sure how I missed the link but I'm eager to begin!

    Congrats to the hubby. Mine still wears shirts like these and he's trying to make the best of these interesting times. We're a lookin' and a prayin' that something else will turn up, but for now... he's got the right attitude and we have food on the table. :)
