Basketball Shirt

A while ago Pigg#1 said he wanted me to make him a basketball shirt.  So I searched the clearance racks for a couple weeks and came up with a plain black shirt with a small chest pocket from Target for 2 dollars.  Then using scraps of orange knit from one of Mr. Jigg's t-shirts, I made this.

 A plain black t-shirt with a large off centered basketball because the pocket on the chest wouldn't let me center the basketball.  I thought it was pretty cool.  Especially with the black stitching to make the lines of the basketball.  So Boy.

Pigg#1 looked at it with half a smile, then said it needed more basketballs.  "How many do you think it should have?"  "Two or three."  So I came up with this...

A total of three basketballs.  One large, one medium with swoosh lines coming out the back, and one small slightly tucked inside the pocket.  When I showed him this version, Pigg#1 grinned and asked if he could change shirts.  And Pigg#2 likes to point out the balls on his shirt all day...
