I have a ton of these T-shirts. They come in a rainbow of colors, they’re super soft and they’re cheap. However, they’re quite plain. So I’ve started embellishing some of them. I freezer paper stenciled a dark blue one and I added flowers this one.
I started with two grey T’s.
I cut the long-sleeved one into 2” strips. Then I ran a basting stitch up the middle of each strip and gently pulled one thread to gather the fabric. Check out this gathering tutorial for help.
I hand sewed the gathered strips to a scrap of knit in a spiral shape to form rosettes. Then I trimmed the the edges of the fabric scrap around the flower.
I noticed that one side of the gathered strip automatically ruffled up better than the other so play around with it a little before your start sewing.
Once the flowers were constructed, I hand stitched them onto my T-shirt.
