I've been feeling a little left out making my girls cute things constantly, and so I decided to buy a bunch of plain T's and dress them up with my "scraps."
I have 3 bins full of scraps that I use all the time.
I bought this shirt in grey and 3 other colors from JC Penney's. I love how they fit and they're only $6.
These are the scraps I chose to work with.
This grey damask strip was about a foot long and I took it and stitched a line around the outer edge all the way around it.
Then I just folded and pinned back and forth like this.
Next, I just sewed straight down the middle of it. Then I made the flower below, and I learned how HERE. I was seriously dying when I saw this tutorial. It's genius and so gorgeous!
Oh, the possibilities this flower design brings me :). Anyways, I pinned it on the shirt and it looked like a little too much so decided to make a much smaller one with the color below. Once you look at the tutorial you'll know why that strip looks the way it does.
I added a cute button and hand stitched it on and the result is Scrap-tacular, don't you think?
(sorry for the cheesiness, ha ha.)
