Construction couture



This little appliqued shirt is for a friend who has just turned two. We share a mutual appreciation of cement mixers.

I have to admit: I have become so swept up in Argy and Bargy's obsession with construction vehicles, that I sometimes find myself marvelling at particular machines. When I am out on my own. Sad.
