Spring Tee

What to do with a white sheet I bought at DI?? Cut it into flowers and sew them onto a plain white tee shirt for a fresh spring look (and no more boring shirts I so often wear)!

Here's how I did it:

First, I cut out my shamrock-shaped flowers. I do have a pattern for these, but can't find the link to them (sorry!) You can just freehand it (that's what I did for the smaller size). Once you bunch them up (see below), you'll never notice imperfections. I double layered the fabric when I cut so I could stitch around the edge. The edges will fray a bit when I wash it, but I think it will look cute like that.

Next, I took my stitched-together flower and bunched up the 'petals.'

Then, I stitched together the base of the flower to give it the puckered look.

Finally, I sewed each flower onto the shirt.

I sewed a lot of big ones together to make the large flower, then smaller ones ascending the side of the collar.

Happy spring!
