MMJ day 14: Simple embelished top

Tuesday, June 14

The sun is out today, and I am feeling much better. The BBC weather report says its going to be nice this week, but Thursday will have some showers.  So for now, I am enjoying this sunshine.

This morning, I decided to embelish my top, and give it a different look. I have not really felt like sewing lately, so I thought I should just do a refashion, and save myself all the headache. So here goes:

  1. You will need an old top or new one, depending on your personal tastes.
  2. A purchased embelishment. You can make one yourself if you are so inclined.
  3. Matching thread and a needle




Lay your top down


Take your embellishment




Place it on your top, re-arranging it until you are satisifed with the placement.


Handsew it in place and trim the excess tulle

Wear it to work, and be proud of yourself !!!
I know its a lazy man project, but I like it. Its suitable for days when you really want a new outfit, but you don't want to go through all the hassle of making one from scratch.

Have a nice day everyone.

  3. I love the sleeves on that shirt. I haven't tried emblishing yet. I have some iron on stars that I've had for the girls since I got my machine in 08 lol
