Mixed up tee

My six year old son thinks this t-shirt is "so cool!" I'm not sure if that's a compliment or something to worry about....

When he saw the front, he told me he loved the bird on the pocket. Then I turned around to show him the back and he yelled out, "wow!". Funny thing, I just finished sewing a dress and asked his opinion of it. He wanted me to turn around, then said he didn't like it as it didn't have birds on the back - ha!

I remember seeing some mixed up t-shirts online a while ago, possibly at Anthropologie. I can't find the image now, but I guess this is my take on a mixing things up.

The pattern is self drafted. I made it earlier this year by tracing a cheap RTW t-shirt that I owned. The chevron and bird fabric are both purchases from Girl Charlee. I purchased a dress length of the bird fabric, but it is too light and sheer for a dress, which is a little disappointing.

The floral binding is a remnant of a piece purchased some time ago from the Op shop. I knew I'd find something to use it for eventually.

Cost:
Pattern: Self drafted = free
Fabric: 1m chevron inc part shipping $10
Fabric 1m bird inc part shipping $20
Binding = free as it's too cheap to account for
Thread from stash
Total: $20 and there is still a bunch of this fabric to make another item with. :)
