It was the case of my brown tee. It has been my favorite t-shirt for a long time and then , when I moved to the States it also got a sentimental value ( I had bought it in dear Belgium, where I used to live before coming to America). I just couldn't find the heart to toss it though it had grease stains and I would have never wore it again. When Dan and I painted our garage I used it as a work tee and got more stains on it, this time paint stains. Ok, this was the end of it...or maybe not.
A few days ago I pulled out it from my refashion stack and decided to somehow recover it - despite the MANY stains.
Here is how my t-shirt used to look like before :
I cut one big piece and one smaller from another striped tee , pinned the pieces in place and stitched. No hemming necessary.
To cover the few little stains on the right arm, I added two cute flowers. All the stains were now covered. The rest was just for jazzing it up.
This is how I managed to stylishly covered stains and revitalized my old tee. Have you got any other ideas?
The shirt became much prettier
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! What a creative way to save a t-shirt!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. I am always trying to figure out how I can save a garment that has a stain or a tear. I hate to waste.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom is 80 yrs old and has Alzheimer's. I try to keep her in basic tops and pants,but not only do I have the stain issue..I just love more color! I've added button ballons, button flowers, buttons, buttons and more buttons. Thanks for new ideas!
