Crafting again...now that my Olympic hiatus is over

I got inspired when I looked through my pile of African scraps.  
So, I decided to do a wee project tonight.  

My project for tonight - decorating a boring old shirt. 


First I started cutting out some fabric circles and used this interesting technique that Anna Maria Horner shows on her blog.  You use aluminum foil to help turn under the edges of the circles and then iron.

Next I basted the circles in place, then zigzagged over top.  Then removed the basting stitches


The circles aren't totally perfect...


...but I think the shirt is a lot more interesting now.
Ta-da!

A fun little project.

  1. I love it. What an easy way to change things up. I could probably find a couple shirts if you're looking for some more projects.
