& I did it for $1.50 + one of Bryce's old t-shirts.
Can I first say how much I LOVE sewing? It's so easy & it is seriously a stress reliever for me. I love the feeling of creating something all on my own.
I need to give 2 shout outs quickly:
1: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to my amazing in-laws Mitch & Colleen Bailey. It is thanks to them that I have my sewing machine, & boy is she a beaut. They gave me the machine as a graduation gift, (wow, I know!) & I don't think I will ever sew a single thing without thinking of them, & feeling so blessed to have such awesome family!
2: THANK YOU sisters 4! (Check them out on my sidebar) For the awesome idea! I love your blog you totally inspire me! (Especailly you Soph!!) Keep up the posts I want to learn EVERYTHING!
So how i did it was I took a plain white t-shirt, and I cut out the neckline how I wanted it, & cut them cuff off the sleeves. Then for a pattern I took a t-shirt of mine that fit me nicely & laid it on top of my t-shirt, then i cut around it leaving about a half inch extra for the hem. Then I sewed up the sides. After that I cut about a million double layered circles of various sizes out of one of Bryce's old t-shirts. Then I pinned them on my shirt where I wanted them. After that I sewed all the circles on using a med. sized zig zag. (This part took forever.) I loved this project, so easy! (& time consuming I will admit, but still easy!) I got so many compliments when I wore it to work & I loved saying, "oh this? I made this!"
Now go make yours!!
