I've been getting lots of old clothes from my mom, and this white cotton tshirt is one of them. She never wore it because it was small for her... but was big for me. So I cut off the sleeves and neckline, tied elastic bands through seam allowances. Also, I read this beautiful book (pic #7) on white embroidery and was so eager to try it. The finished work proudly lies in the center :-) I tried to place the other laces and buttons randomly but somehow coherently, at the same time. I love the shirt except for the warning it gives me to "work out around my upper arm" every time I wear it... ;-P

There is so much creativity in this blouse! The embroidery is so gentle... I really like its mild color and everything you've added and changed!
Now that's the type of recycling and sewing I like to do!! Great base for your creative ideas!
really pretty!
great recycling! very nice.
Nice creative touches.
Thank you all!! Yes, I try to reuse, remake or recycle something when I make things because if you throw them away, they're burned and will become nothing but ashes... it's so mottainai!!
Wowww...you ended up making such a special shirt! It's fantastic.
I love it.
Thank you, ReneeBeth and LYBU!
