So, we are going away for the week and i was sorting through the kid's clothes to pack. I came across a t-shirt that was my eldest and is now the right size for my youngest girl.
It had a lovely bird design on it and i remember my eldest wearing it a lot. Like every time it was clean, it went straight on. However it was very VERY stained and was white, so i couldn't recycle it for my youngest.
So, i thought.... i planned to cut the bird off and sew it onto a new t-shirt (my kids have a lot of plain tees for this very purpose!). Only problem was, when i cut it off, a lot of it was embroidered and the rest of it was in pieces. So, time for Plan B.
I made a template from the pieces and hunted out a bunch of pretty girly fabric to cut for parts. I sewed it all onto a square of white fabric (minus the flower as i didn't want it on the new tee), add a few buttons and Hey Presto! A new tee!
And one very impressed daughter!
Now i have to finish packing! See you in a week or so!
