Naptime Creation...

I've recently seen a few different blogs on enhancing a boring t-shirt. I had one I had purchased at a yard sale for $0.50 that just didn't fit right so I decided to give it a try.
I apologize for not taking a before picture.
The problem with the shirt was it was too long and fit wierd around my waist... just enhancing all the wrong parts.
I started by cutting off about 4 inches from the bottom.  I used that fabric in folded strips to make the flowers and added some buttons in the middle for some interest.  I then did some small pleating on the sides to give it the wrinkled effect.  I hemmed the bottom of the shirt because it didn't seem to have enough bulk.  And wha la! A shirt that I'm actually going to wear. Not too bad for my first try...
