Hello, my friend !
Have you ever had an old T-shirt
that you really loved but it was pretty tattered ?
Maybe it had stains or lost it's shape
or
maybe a child has out grown a shirt
but still loves the graphic design.
I used an out grown T-shirt-
and a flannel shirt-
Together to make a new shirt !
I cut out the T-shirt design.
Trimmed it down to size to fit
the back of the flannel shirt.
I used a scrap of fusible (iron on)
interfacing between the shirts.
Cut interfacing an inch or so small than
the T-shirt if you want a ragged edge later.
Interfacing is used to stabilize the thin knit shirt.
I centered the design on the back of the flannel shirt
and ironed in place.
I used my sewing machine to stitch around the design.
Then I used sharp scissors to cut 1/4'' apart fringe.
Be careful not to cut the stitching or the flannel shirt.
Put it in the wash and then the dryer-
Love the look-
Now I can still wear an old favorite.
In our family, usually the old favorites would become
hand-me-downs OR pajamas.
I thought I would try something different.
Today is a perfect Fall Morning
to wear my new shirt !
Have a beautiful week!!!!
