I follow a blog and saw this idea. I also read these directions. I knew I could do it. If it doesn't require a sewing machine it doesn't really worry me.
You'll need:
A t-shirt to wear
A t-shirt to cut (I got mine at Goodwill)
Scissors
A Pen
A cookie cutter or template
Needle and thread
I put the cookie cutter on the inside of the shirt and traced around them with the pen until I had about 20. I then cursed under my breath as I used scissors that were bought specifically for fabric, hidden where only I could find them, and then savagely stolen to be used to cut paper, hair, food, and whatever else my family could think of. Needless to say, it took me awhile.
I simply put one down, sewed it into place with about three stitches and repeated that over and over again. I had the other websites open so I could glance at theirs from time to time.Here it is all done.
And here's how I looked after getting back from the Pioneer Woman's book signing. I thought it was worthy of her.
Next up on my agenda...a ruffled shirt. A sewing machine would be handy to make the basting stitch...but I'm pretty sure I can make it work with just a needle and thread!Stay tuned:c)
