I decided to make another embellished tee this week.
I found these cute tees on clearance for $1 each while I was running through walmart this week. I decided I wanted to try vertical ruffles similar to Sachiko's shirt on Tea Rose Home. I made my strips thinner. The larger strip was 1 inch and the smaller was 1/2 inch thick. Then I pinned them down the length of my shirt. Buzz Lightyear finished watching his afternoon movie (Toy Story 3, what else!) before I was finished pinning. So, he decided he wanted to help me a little. He was so proud of himself!
As you can see, the strip he pinned is a little wonky. I had to fix it while he wasn't watching ;)
Here it is after I sewed on the vertical ruffles. I loved most of it. The outside and middle strips are the same length and the short ones are 5" shorter. I altered the alignment of the pink variegation for interest.
I didn't like the neckline. It just seemed a little unfinished.
So I made an additional strip that I pinned around the neckline. One strip wasn't quite enough, so I made a short 5" strip for the other shoulder. That way, the variegated pink color was symmetrical at the shoulders.
I kept a little space between the 2 strips for fabric flowers. Again, I got the idea from Sachiko here. I made 3 sets of circle with 3 sizes each.
Then I folded the circle into quarters.
And sewed over the tip. Then I unfolded a little, and made another little bunchy seam.
This is what they look like unfolded.
Then I hand stitched them to my shirt. I am done!
My shirt is complete and ready to wear!
