All you need to do is make a paper template and cut out the knit flowers. I sewed the flowers on to the shirt by hand, but I'm sure you could use a machine as well.

Appliqued Heart Shirt
This year for Valentine's Day I wanted to make my daughter a shirt. I wanted to applique a heart on to a plain shirt, but wanted something with a little more pizazz. I found a shirt online that used fabric flowers and shaped them into a heart. Pretty cute.

How cute! The string of pearls is a perfect compliment too! ;)
ReplyDeleteI saw this idea in miniboden.com so thank you for showing me a way to make it b/c I refuse to pay $30 for a child's shirt!! :) Love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, miniboden that's where I saw the shirt. I couldn't remember where it was. I also wouldn't fork over $30 for a shirt either, when you can make it much cheaper.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I love the extra texture. :)
