Have a boring tee you want to add some sass to?
I found a plain red t-shirt for Mackenzie on sale at Walmart for $2.50. Since I'm a sucker for a good deal I bought it and got to thinking how I could spice it up a bit.
I remembered seeing a great template for flowers here so I printed it out and got working. I dug into my pile of scrap fabric and picked out a couple cute navy, white and red prints. Then I appliqued them onto the top corner of the shirt (using "Steam a Seam"...if you don't know what it is ask me. It makes appliquing so simple) and finsihed it off with a navy button.
Instant cutness!

It turned out really cute. Perfect colors for summer. Also your little girl is adorable.
thanks for the link, I"m going to have to do something like that for my daughter. I have tons of boring stuff I've picked up for a deal that I've been wanting to spice up!
That is really cute. I bookmarked that link. One of my favorite gifts lately is jazzing up plain shirts like that.
What a cute, simple thing to do to jazz up a plain shirt!! I've never heard of the steam stuff. I'm going to have to look around!!
What a DOLL! She's too cute.
Great mod for that shirt...WAY better.
love it!!! amazing. every day. amazing.
I've just this week learned how to use steam a seam and am practicing my machine applique (I've done all hand work before). What a clever idea!
Somehow, when i clicked on a link at the Sew Mama Sew giveaway for May 27-31, I was brought to your blog and to this pretty tshirt. And I'm glad I'm here.
thanks, kath
