Valentines Around the Corner

Yesterday I was not very happy with my slow pace. I only made one item, an upcycled pink t - shirt made of 95% cotton and 5%  spandex which gives it a nice smooth feeling with a comfortable stretch.
The shirt measures 34 inches at the bust with a back neck length of 23.

The red heart is cut from another t - shirt and backed with a heat bond fabric. I handstitched around the heart and attached a black button to the center. At each side I embroidered an "X."  The heart patch reads as, "X O X." Pure love LOL.  To my eyes the pink is a nice soft hue, but from this side of my monitor, it appears washed out and faded. 

Maybe a good time to consider taking photos in the day and in natural light.
