Adding to t-shirts

I spent some time adding to the t-shirts so I can keep the center row as wide as possible. For the basketball jersey I needed to fill in the armholes and add to the sides. The back of the jersey had no printing on it so I use that fabric for filling in.  I didn't fill in the neck area; I will trim that off.
This white shirt also had a plain back so I could use that to widen this shirt a bit. The pieces I am adding are wider than I need, but I wanted extra for squaring it up.
I didn't have any more of the blue t-shirt so I am going to add some of the camo to it. Why not?
I spent my morning out on the job site since the ironworkers were getting ready to push beams. Lots of people involved in the project wanted to see this done. After 3 hours the sun was getting so hot and I was wilting. I am such a wimp! I had my prescription sunglasses on and my regular glasses in my safety vest pocket. Somehow when I went to pick up my water bottle my glasses fell out of my pocket and I didn't notice that they were gone until we were almost back to the truck we came in. We went to the truck and I sat in the A/C while the other two people I was with went back to the site, probably a 5 minute walk, to see if they could find my glasses. They found them - woohoo! I think someone had stepped on them because they were a little out of wack and scratched, but I can still wear them after I straightened them out.

You are so lucky they found your glasses, even if the did get stepped on…..at least you can see with them in the short term.

That was probably interesting to see the beams pushed into place, but too bad it had to be so hot out. I'm a wimp too when it comes to time outside on hot days.
