What Would Celina Do? Lego Stamped Tee

February 20, 2014 by Abby 36 Comments

Lego Stamped Tee

I first discovered Celina’s blog when I came across this tutorial on Pinterest. I’ve had the idea pinned for such a long time and when Laura asked me ‘What Would Celina Do?’, I knew straight away that I wanted to do some Lego stamping for my project.

This is such a simple and effective project and I’m so pleased with the result!

I didn’t have a foam brush, so just ripped the corner off a foam scrap I had. I used some Pebeo fabric paint, which I have used before (here and here). It’s awesome stuff, so vibrant and holds really well. I haven’t noticed any fading on my previous projects.

The hardest bit was deciding when to stop stamping. It looks a bit like a crumbling wall. Roman said he wants to stamp the rest, but we’ll see 😉 I used a store bought tshirt because I didn’t have the right fabric or the time to make one. This tee is the next size up for him, so it’s a little bit.

Roman wore the top for the first time yesterday while we did some baking. He’s been asking to make Hot Cross Buns…and who am I to refuse?!

They sure were good… I may have eaten 5! Oops! I’m not the only one inspired by Celina. In fact, there are a whole heap of us wondering ‘What Would Celina Do’ today. You can see what everyone else has made by clicking on the images below:

    Your t-shirt came out amazing! Oh I am going to have to try that. I love it with the stripes. I am a little shocked and speechless at the moment, but I want to thank you for taking part in this crazy series. I love and respect your style and this is really such an honor. Thank you.

    I got it at Spotlight. They had a crazy sale on it ages ago so I got a lot of colours. I think they are $9 each regularly. Not the cheapest but great quality and they last ages. You could probably find them cheaper online though.

    Thanks! Yes, I was thinking that when I had started stamping. Would look very cool with the traditional lego colours (blue, red, yellow, white) on black.

    This is so cute Abby! I love how simple it is yet there’s so many directions you could take it, such as with different colours as Toni-Maree suggested. So happy you could join in today.

    I LOVE this t-shirt! And the contrast between the fabric and the stamps is just perfection.

A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've A new hat! I used the free #closetcoresunhat. I've added a hair hole, since why don't all hats have that?! Also added some garden wire to the brim.  Instead of finishing the brim edge with bias, I did the usual RST stitch, fold and top stitch. That means the brim is a little shorter than the pattern. I wanted to keep the hat lightweight, so it's unlined and has only the two layers of canvas fabric for the brim. The cotton canvas is a vintage fabric from my stash, which originally cost 15 shillings and 9 pence (I think) per yard.

My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Part My dress for this years @sew_melbourne Garden Party was the Lucca Dress from @schultzapparel. I adore the 18th Century vibe! After toiling my measured size, I ended up going down 2 sizes and after a few minor tweaks I make to most patterns (shorten and move forward the shoulder and realign the side seams) it was good to go. I was planning to finish the front with eyelets but ended up hand sewing in hook and eye tape. I love the clean look! When trying it on I wanted a little more oomph in the hips so I added some tulle hip pads to the sides. I added in seam pockets too because...pockets! The fabric is from deep stash and originally purchased at the Philips Shirt Factory sale in the city maybe 10 years ago?! It was a dream to sew with! I used about 5m because it was only 90cm wide. I'm loving the result and hopefully the weather plays nice and I get another chance to wear it before it turns cold. The dipped waist makes it really comfortable to wear with room for a big lunch! #schlucca #sewmelbourne #sewmelbournegp #imakemyownclothes
