I bought a t-shirt!!!
Some people buy dresses but I'm not a dress sort of person!!! I prefer casual or even below casual!!!!
I bought a couple of t-shirts recently in a cheap shop in town. I like them lots but they're very plain - just like me. Plain Jane!!!!
So, what does a tatter do with a plain piece of clothing? Well, of course, they yank out some shuttles and attack it with thread.
I've done a simple split ring braid which I've sewn slightly inwards of the edge. As the t-shirt was cheap I didn't want to spend too much time adding to it as it may well go skanky after a few washes. Mean is what I am!!!
The true colour is shown in the third picture. Well, roughly!
I like making that braid, it works well as a handbag project. Then I use it to decorate nighties etc. So this gets thumbs up from me!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, Jane. Handbags.
DeleteI think it looks nice. Good job on that.
ReplyDeleteI'm a t-shirt girl, too. I've never dressed one up, though. Lovely work, Jane!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple t-shirts that need this treatment.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, and great embellishment! It appears that you sewed down every picot. Just the thought of that wears me out!
ReplyDeleteEvery picot but it doesn't take long.
DeleteLOVE this! I thoroughly enjoy embellishing LOTS of things with my tatting: sweaters, canvas grocery bags, quilting blocks, etc. And, I really don't mind sewing down the picots either - seems therapeutic to me.
ReplyDeleteWonderful decoration for that shirt!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat way to jazz up a plain T-shirt. Looks very proper.
ReplyDeleteSo attractive.
