Whatever Wednesday: Christmas shirt refashion

I asked what people wanted to see more this year and several said refashions.  So here is refashion that I did!

 

This is how I made it:

1) I got this Christmas shirt for $2 on clearance

2) I cut out the design and hemmed the neck to a scoop/v neck

3) I then made the sleeves 3/4.  I hemmed those and gathered about 3 inches on them with elastic thread.

4) With the fabric from the sleeves, I cut out some flowers.  I actually used my Epic 6 and nesting blossom die cut to cut the fabric, it worked pretty well.  

5) I then sewed all the flowers onto the shirt.

6) I then glued some pearls onto the flower

And that's it!  Not too bad for a $2 shirt, right?

Sorry for the dark picture, self portrait....
