Reverse-applique on this year’s ArtWalk T-shirt

Cynthia M. Parkhill in sunflower-patterned newsboy hat and white ArtWalk T-shirt with cartoon picture of blue narwhal singing into microphone with spotlights shining on it. Fabric squares are visible along the sleeves, shoulders, and front neckline of the shirt, arranged in recurring sequence of black print on white, blue print on yellow, white print on black, dark blue against light blue, and solid green cutwork lace.

One of the ways that our generous community supports Santa Rosa Charter School for the Arts is the sponsoring of T-shirts for students and staff for the annual ArtWalk fundraiser. This year’s fundraiser took place last Friday, and here I am wearing my shirt. I spent the weekend customizing it with reverse-applique along the sleeves, shoulders, and front neckline. I used patterned fabrics in the white, black, yellow, and blue of the T-shirt’s Narwhal design, plus I threw in some squares in green cutwork fabric because it’s my favorite color. Got a lot of appreciative reactions when I wore it to school today.
