Well, sort of. I was the award winner for Home Ec my freshman year of high school. But I truly believe it's because the student teacher sewed my entire jumper. (Which I never wore by the way.) We're still friends and we always laugh about that:)
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)
I've got three sewing machines just calling your name the ROC Resale Shop. Comon' by...
