vermilion shirt

This shirt was made using an ivory and red cotton coverlet. Red cotton leaves are hand appliqued atop ecru cotton sack textile cc 1955. (assuming that's the year, considering the '55' drawn in a heart on the back; see the last photo).

the shirt was cut on the straight grain including the sleeves. but, since the sleeves were cut on the straight grain there was no red binding at the hem. So, we had to take it off from another part of the textile and add it to the sleeve hem. This is not a quilt topper, not a quilt.
