Hello Everyone,
I wanted to get back to you with something other than jacket makeovers for a change. I am a little late with this one since fall is upon us, but here we go…
Every summer I take a bunch of new basic T-shirts and jazz them up with a little something extra. I have 4 new ones to show you and here is the first. Recently, I came across a Zara T-shirt that had a gorgeous rose print, “BUT” the skull and the “Stay Weird,” comment had to go. I mean…that statement may be true, but those who know me love me for it, and it needs no advertisement.
Take a look at the before and after:



Take a closer look at how I did it:
I cut out all of the useful pieces and fused them onto the basic V-neck t-shirt. Then I went after the edges with some of my Boro style stitching with white embroidery floss. I love the Boro influence and it has kind of become a signature of my look.


I will show you the rest of my new looks over the next 2 weeks. I hope you enjoy this one. Be sure to let me know what you think of it, and I would love to hear what you are working on right now.
Talk to me!
Love ya!


I think you did a great job, love the stitching, it really makes the 2 pieces belong together.
Thanks Donna! I appreciate the feed back. Yes, the stitching is a way to “marry” the two pieces, and it is always fun and relaxing work.
Great job! I love the stitching around the edges.
Thank you Sarah! I try to make it classy:)
