Project Day: Vintage Rose Ruffle Shirt

I needed a little something pretty to pick me up this weekend. Here's what I did to turn a plain white shirt into something special just for me!

• I cut out and around an embroidered motif from a vintage pillowcase I had.
• Using a piece of scrap denim I roughly sewed the motif onto it using zig zag stitch [using red thread].
• I then cut the whole piece into an oval shape.
• Using the edging from the original pillowcase I cut 2 long pieces, gathered them to make some ruffles for the edging.
• Then I sewed the ruffles onto the denim piece - again, roughly and without to much care [again with the red thread].
• Lastly I sewed the finished piece on the front of my white shirt [pin first to hold in place].

So this afternoon I am off for drinks at my neighbours and I think this will suffice just beautifully with a glass of bubbly.
have a great weekend. Simone xx
