| The completed project |
There's a great thrift store near my house-
Texas Thrift. It's on Fondren just south of South Braeswood on the west side of the street. The items are tagged with different colors, depending on when they were received. Each Monday one of the tag colors is selected to sell for only $.99.
There is always good stuff to be had there. I Last week I found 6 shirts nice shirts for Bert at $.99 apiece. On another Monday I found this gray Disney t-shirt with the Cheshire Cat. It was too small for me but I loved the cat.

| Cutting out the good parts |
After washing the t-shirt I carefully cut out the cat and most of the spooky-looking tree.
I then appliqued the cut-out to the back of a raspberry-colored hooded vest. The entire cutout was outlined in black so I only needed to use black thread in a zigzag stitch to apply the cat to the vest.
I'm very happy with the result. Plus I already own a cheshire cat hoodie hat with matching mittens and a cheshire cat fanny pack with a tail. I'm ready for the cooler weather plus the ensemble would make a great Halloween outfit, too.
