Hello friends!
I have a large amount of linens I have been sorting through.
In fact I have them for sale right now on EBAY by the pound!
I found all sorts of shapes-
I found a KITTY !
Can you see it ?
Just any old flannel shirt will do-
I'm going to add the doily to the back.
I pinned my doily in place, and measured to make sure it was centered.
I decided to add it to the shirt below the yoke.
With long hair the design would be covered at the collar.
I carefully cut away the fabric behind the design,
to about a 1/4'' away from the stitching.
Turned right side to the front top side.
Then I used a zig-zag stitch on my sewing machine.
I stitched right over that edge line.
This is the inside of the shirt after stitching.
I always were another T Shirt underneath my flannels.
Then the lace design detail will really show.
I had my mannequin model for us!
I like the look-
It's easy to do....and it's easy to find old doilies around.
Short and sweet-
Thank you for visiting today!

This shirt below had no yoke seam in back,
so I stitched up under the collar.
This shirt has already sold.
All the packages of doilies have sold too-
I will try to put some more together soon.
I keep thinking that first photo is the intro picture for a craft about making a hamburger out of lace doilies! ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny! Okay 1 doily, 1 shirt, 1 Hamburger please ;)

You always think of the most amazing and unique ideas. I can see why your shirt sold quickly ~ love it! Thanks for sharing at the Home Matters Party.

Lisa, I love this idea for reusing doilies! I actually just found a few really old doilies that were my mother’s that I have been unable to part with but really have no use for. I think I will find a creative way to use them on my clothing now! Thanks so much for the wonderful inspiration. I will be featuring this post on Tuesday’s #SpreadTheKindness Link Party!

ReplyDeleteKristin,
DeleteHere in California a flannel is all we need for most of the winter!
I 'm so happy to meet you and join the party. Thank you so much for featuring my skirt. I'll stop by again and visit you!

What a lovely idea. I've made some table runners from old doilies and attached some to bags but I love the idea of wearing them! They look especially good with the check too, I've always loved check and lace together.
ReplyDeleteJulie, Thank you so much. I adored your table runner.
DeleteIt seems like I'm finding more and more doilies lately. I'd like to try to make a runner. Thanks for visiting, take care.

Wow... who knew a flannel shirt could look so fancy?! Consider me officially dressed up now! Really beautiful Lisa... it's such a genius addition!

DeleteThank you so much!!!!

i love those old doilies ... i'm not using mine alot these days, but they're a treasure anyway.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I pick them up for pennies. I really appreciate all the hard work put into making them. My G.G. loved to do tatting. I can't even crochet a scarf.

Great idea, Lisa! I've added old linens to sleeves, but love the effect of the crochet with the flannel. You're going to get some features with this one, for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I really love the cut out.
