Levi work shirt

I have a short-sleeved Levi-style work shirt that, admittedly, has seen better days. However, as it's a favorite of mine, I decided to embellish it with some sewing-related motifs.

The collar has a rotary cutter and a pair of scissors. The pocket has a dressmaker's mannequin and the buttonhole band has stork scissors between the buttonholes.

The dressmaker's mannequin came from A Bit of Stitch's "Fall Freebie Dress 04" collection. Unfortunately, I can't find it again on the site, nor on "Secrets of" site, which is where I think I originally got it. The collar motifs are from Aunty M's sewing mini's at the Stitchery Mall. The stork scissors is more of a mystery: I believe it came from a European website (a link from one of the mailing lists I belong to). The design itself was in .pes format and is called "knoopschaar.pes", but darned if I know where the website is.
