Wardrobe Rehab Part V.....

Another boring shirt!! (Yes I do seem to have many of those.) It nearly made a trip to the Good Will this morning when I realized I still had some old blue toile fabric that would compliment it beautifully.
I just cut a slit right down the middle. (Put it on first and mark a spot so that you do not accidentally give yourself a plunging neckline. (Unless of course you are into that sort of thing,...in which case,...be my guest.:)) I don't even bother to finish off the edges since stretch cotton does not tend to fray. Then I made three cute-est posies following the fabulous instructions found here. (Blurry photo warning,........dude I just don't know what is wrong with my photographer.)
I sewed them on. (I probably could have even used liquid stitch, but I usually choose to sew.) And,........VOILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shirt not as boring. I still think I will try to come up with something frilly and a bit clown-esq for the bottom. (Just wouldn't be like me to stop while I'm ahead.;))

The best thing about these posies is that they look even better for the wear after they have been washed a bit. They get all frumped up and full of frayed character. YAY!!! So go find a boring shirt and 'Un-Boring' it!!

?????

So to consult my favorite resource,...(the land of blog),...Does any body know if a photograph can be decoupaged with out it being ruined. I know that photos don't like water,...but Modge Podge? I have considered trying it out, but it seems almost sacrilegious to experimentally destroy a photo if any one else out there already knows the answer to this query. :):)

Thought I would try my hand at these posies that seem to be floating around out there on the idea circuit. I think I may very well be in love. I decided to put safety pins on the back since it is easier to pin a brooch in ones hair than it is to put a barrette on a blouse or purse.
