"Let me first admit, I do not consider myself a seamstress. Yes, I enjoy sewing.

Tutorial - How to Make an Embellished T Shirt

What a fabulous, creative challenge with awesome results!

Embellished T Shirt Tutorial at Just Chic
"To give you an insight of our little embellishment project, I'll share the few rules:
-each of the participants has to buy at her turn five identical articles of clothing, keep one for herself and send the other four to the rest of us
-one article cannot cost more than $5
-we can do whatever to the item to embellish it: cut, fit, apply, ruffle, etc as long as at the end we won't transform it into something else. A t-shirt has to remain a t-shirt.

Love Skull Valentine Boy Shirt Tutorial at The Boy Trifecta
"Ever tried making a Valentine's Day shirt for an almost 9-year-old boy?

It's not easy. They are apparently averse to hearts and love. So I had to sort of sneak in the lovey-dovey part in the midst of a much more boyish motif - the skull and crossbones.

I changed the shape of the skull's eyes to be hearts. The heads of the bones are also sort of heart-shaped. I almost hoped Riley wouldn't notice. He did. He likes it anyway..." Read more
