Another T-Shirt Makeover w/ Yellow Flowers

I had seen a a cute t-shirt makeover very similar to the one I made.  I just put pedals on my pattern when I cut it out and I added sparkly tulle that matched the color of the t-shirt.  Here is the cute brown one from Tea Rose Home where I got the idea to make this one...

 So like all the other t-shirt makeovers I bought 2 of these t-shirts for $2.99 each.  

I used the patterns I had cut out for the flowers for the hair that we made with the activity days girls.  It was perfect to re-use them for making this t-shirt!  I love when things have more then one purpose!  You can click here to see my post about the hair bows.  I do plan on going back and making a hair clip with the left over material for Mackenzie and possibly myself, I just haven't yet.

I cut 2 at a time from the t-shirt and I think I did 4 at a time from the tulle.  I just cut the tulle in circles and the t-shirt with pedals.

Lay out and pin your patterns and cut...

Layer your pieces up... (after I had made the first 2 and took the pictures, I actually decided to add tulle behind them all, so I had 3 pieces of tulle and 2 pieces of knit)

 Fold it in half and then in half again... so, fold it in quarters and hand stitch a couple times through it...

 Open it up and pinch certain spots and stitch to keep it bunched up... hope that makes sense to you, it may make more sense when you do it...

 and just keep going around and doing it till it meets your approval...

 Here is what the back of mine looks like when it's finished...

Here is what the front looks like...

Make as many as you'd like, I did 11.  Lay them out and hand tack them down...

I only tacked down the centers but after it was washed it bunched up a little.  So I was thinking I'd go back and tack down a little more, but possible with fabric glue, just keep the flowers opened a little more like before it was washed.  But it's really not that bad after it was washed.  If I had squished them together more and maybe did 15-17 flowers it might look just fine after being washed.

If you are worried about fraying, don't... knit and tulle don't fray.

It's nice to have a hand sewing project to do it.   Because I can take it anywhere with me, outside in the yard when the kids are playing or sitting in front of the TV.  I actually enjoyed doing this by hand.
