This time round I'm testing LLFAB's custom cotton Lycra print.
My youngest was beside himself as he LOVES the film this print is inspired by.
Print quality is good, fabric feels nice in the hand, only a cm lost after the initial pre' wash, subsequent washes haven't shown any noticeable shrinkage.
With custom prints such as these I prefer the fabric to do the talking with a simple pattern, plus I have boys so complex patterns with frills and flounce don't really appeal!
They picked a t-shirt (with explicit instructions to make it a bit too big so it would 'last forever', and a pair of boxers.
First up is the t-shirt, he chose which fabric for the arms and the back as we had a large panel for the front.
T-shirt pattern is one of my own.
Next up were the boxers, I used the Made By Jacks Mum speedy pants as he favours these and we had to do some piecing together as there wasn't quite enough to get them out of a single piece.
We chose a solid purple for the waistband and leg cuffs.
Both these items have been constantly worn and washed since making and the fabric is wearing really well, barely any fading, no bobbling or fuzz either.
Still puts a smile on my youngest's face every time he puts the t-shirt on. Glad he wanted it bigger now as it will definitely get the love for as long as possible,
