I followed another craft blog tutorial to make a cute little t-shirt for one of my nieces that lives out of state. Her birthday is in just a few days! Since I don't have a little girl of my own I take great pleasure in making or buying girly things for all my nieces! I didn't take any before or during pictures but I can tell you a little about the process. I purchased an inexpensive t-shirt along with some fabric paint, pin findings, tulle, and polyester. I used two different sized sponge brushes (will use something more solid next time) and a pencil eraser to paint on the "necklaces". Since one of the fabric paints was a velvetine, I used the iron to steam the texture into it. I cut two different sized circles of each of the fabrics and used flame to curl it around the edges. Using needle and thread I sewed a white button to the center of the stacked fabrics which sewed them together and then without cutting the thread I sewed the fabric flower to the pin finding. I reinforced the pin with some clear glue and let it dry overnight. I pinned the flower in place on the shirt and ta-da!
That turned out really cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you think so! I bought two other little t-shirts to do this to for two more of my nieces that live out of state!
