No matter how hard I tried I just couldn't get the head close enough to the top of the t-shirt. I hope that it is ok the way it is, do you think it will be? I left my iron @ camp & it does need a press, I added fleece for the mane. I have seen wool being used but I thought that might not wash as well as the fleece. This is part of our grandson's birthday gift & I sure hope he likes it

I don't know of anyone who receives such a nice gift and then takes a ruler to measure placement. People love embroidered gifts. We see what we call "mistakes" and the receivers see the beauty in the gift. In short words, it's great and he will love it. Very cute.

Hi Loralye, your grand-son will love this camouflage t-shirt and I think he will wear it with pride, because his Nanna made it! Cute adaptation of the Giraffe's mane! I'm sure it will be worn often and commented on by everyone who sees how clever you have been in getting him into the position. Great work, love Chris

Loralye, It is so cute. I love it. You did a great job and I would have thought that it was done just like it was supposed to be if you hadn't said anything. Hugs and blessings, Gail

It looks very nice. How did you get it as close as you did? I have this trouble as well.

oh I took the side stitches out & was able to hoop it close, thanks

Since you were trying for the shoulder, maybe you should have settle for the neck opening, if that was easier. I think, fortunately for all of us, kids aren't so critical of our work. I think he will be too excited to judge placement. Wish him a Happy Birthday! and relax, it's fine.
I saw another Cutie had posted a shirt with the head and body designs like this. They are really cute BOTH of them, yours and hers!

thank you Toogie I don't think I could do a nice job putting the ribbing back so I didn't take the shoulder seem apart. Applique hut is full of fun designs & this was one of them

No Loralye don't scrap it, it is wonderful. I thinks it looks terrific, and i am sure your grandson will love it to. As it is made by his very clever Gran, it is a very cute design, and beautifully done by you. Sandra.

I think it is so cute. I thought it looked like ribbon for the mane but read again you used fleece. Doesn't look like it needs a press to me.

I echo the comments of others. Sometimes we are far too hard on ourselves. If this isn't loved just the way it is, and made with love, then something is wrong with the recipient and not the shirt. It's adorable!
