T-Shirt Refashion

Last week I purchased this simple gray Tee at Forever 21 for $2.


I purchased it knowing that I wanted to do something fun with it.

The other night when I sat down to start playing around with the top,
I remembered the lace collar I had left over from my

So I got it out.

Cut it in half. 

Then I played around with it, pinning it and designing until I came up with something I liked.

Finally, I knew what I wanted to do.

I chose a contrasting yellow thread to add an extra pop
and sat down to sew.

This is what I ended up with.
Close ups of flower and contrasting thread


For some reason I feel like this photo shows how short I really am.


I am quite pleased with this refashion.

One thing that I especially love is that when the tee gets old, 
as it inevitably will,
I will be able to once again salvage the lace.

It's so awesome when things can be reused over and over.

  21. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never understand.
    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
