{Tutorial} Flowers & Ruffles

I guest posted this tutorial over at Oopsey Daisy last month but since I have gotten new followers and not everyone has seen this I figured I would post it here!

Let's get started!

I forgot to take a picture of the shirt before I started

but this is the exact shirt from the stores website

 Materials Needed

• 2 shirts (1 to cut up) I got my at Rue 21 for $3 each
• Felt 
• Lace (optional, I didn't use it) I was going to use it to create the flower brooches but decided to use the fabric instead
• Roller Cutter
• Straight Edge

A Tutorial at Oopsey Daisy!

Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I guest-posted a tutorial at Oopsey Daisy! 

So be sure to stop by and let me know what you think!

{Tutorial} Rosette & Ruffle T-Shirt

I am so excited to do my first tutorial ever!

Supplies needed...

• 2 shirts
• hot glue/fabric glue (for the rosettes)
• Sewing Machine (for the ruffles)
• Thread and needle (to sew the rosettes on)
• Fabric Scissors

To start off, grab two t-shirts, they can be exactly the same (like I did) or different colors. 

I grabbed these shirts are Rue 21 for only $3.00 each!

 

First thing you want to do is take one of the shirts that you are going to cut up for the rosettes. Depending on your fabric and how stretchy it is you will need about 13-25″ long. For the smaller rosettes it usually it about 15" and the bigger one is usually 25″. Like I said, it depends on your fabric! It is always better to cut more than too little. For the width, I like 1.5"! Here or here  (thanks to pinterest) are great, easy tutorials I found just recently the explains how to make rosettes like mine.

I made one 25″X1.5" one and two 15″X1.5"

Now onto the ruffles....

Because my fabric was pretty stretchy, when I cut it, it curled up a little. So I cut it a little wider than normal.
