i bought these boring tees last year for $3 a piece i think, and decided they needed a little something, so i spruced them up a bit with some reverse applique: and some fabric rosettes. these i made with the leftover strips from my pleated neckline shirt, and just sewed them down in a rough circle. love it! of course, sadie's clothes couldn't … [Read more...]
