As one matures as an artist over time, one learns to “trust the process”. There are times when I don’t. And that’s usually when I have a lesson to learn.
This time I decided to “trust the process”.
This is what happened.
From this…………………..to this.
My husband’s under shirt was really worn. The rib at the neckline was torn and there was a hole under one arm
Since it was a really long T-Shirt, I cut away the hem and replaced the worn rib at the neck.
There was enough left to add the same detail to the sleeves.
Then I reshaped the dress and made it an A-line T-Shirt dress. Also cut away the sleeves and repositioned them. This got rid of the hole.
Many of us who sew generally have a stash of odd buttons.
I used different buttons around the neckline and sleeves using a fairly thick dark blue thread.
It looked really good but the T-Shirt had some stains I wanted to mask.
So I used the half a packet of royal blue dye I had left in my dye stash, and dyed it in a crock pot.
I like the way the buttons got dyed.
