What's Your Favourite Animal?: McCall's 6972

 Dinosaurs!   This little shirt will soon be on it's way to a special little man who loves dinosaurs.  


The fabric is a 100% cotton from the quilting section at the local Fabricland store.  It was pretreated with a tumble through the washer and dryer before hitting the ironing board for a steam pressing.  It's made with McCall's 6972, a super easy pattern to sew.  No changes were made to the pattern design and fingers are crossed that it will be well-received.
