One in particular is a shirt I've had for years. Originally I cut it to because the neckline was in disrepair and I wanted to extend it's life because it's incredibly comfortable for wearing around the house on those days you plan to go no where and or wearing when I exercise or go for my walks, but I've come to like it so much I wanted to further extend it's life and use as something loose to wear with leggings or shorts out.
I found some black lace and ribbon in my stash to embellish with and after using a white eyeliner pencil in the stead of tailors chalk drew, and cut out my design to sew on to the shirt. Hemmed the top added a little gather the sleeve with the ribbons, used the left over lace for a little peekaboo panel on the sides, and once all my hand sewing was complete wound up with this little number.
Not the best pic, just got back from my walk but eh, it's edgy, feminine, and most important still extremely comfy. My next project is going to be time consuming. The hubby tends to wear his fav jeans till they literally fall apart and then expects me to save them "sigh" this is going to be a doosy to give you and idea of what i'm up against.....
the other pair is even worse...... well ttyl -- QueenOfNothing
