Whale t-shirt

I just made this whale t-shirt, using part of a zip for it's mouth (like the whale cushion). It's something I've been thinking about for a while... I'm going to make 4 in different designs - just one-offs to start with - and see how it goes. One of the great things about Folksy is that you can see how many views you've had on an item, so if the t-shirts don't generate much interest, I won't take it any further.

The polka dot fin is stitched at along the top so it 'flaps'

And here it is modelled by Herbie who wants to wear it all the time!

Only one available in a size 3-4 on in my Folksy shop!
