Happy 4th of July

Today is rainy in Kansas City but the barbecues and fireworks will still liven up the day.  What a great day when our countries celebrates it's birthday.  For weeks the celebration has been under way.  All the communities around KC have their own festivals and celebrations.  We live in a great nation!

For my grandson, I repurposed a T shirt that was a bit baggy and sloppy on me.

 Using an Octobre pattern, I cut the flag out of the original T shirt, I reused the sleeves and ribbing also. I have fabric left over for another T.    I should have gone to the store and bought a lighter shade of grey thread.  I have been trying to use up thread I already have.  But the zigzag around the ribbing stands out more than I had hoped.
