I have pictured here the shirt, which was perfectly good, except it had several holes in the front...directly where the button from my jeans rubs on the kitchen counter. Last week, I shared a scarf that I made with two t-shirts and some inspiration from Alabama Chanin.
So, I decided to save my shirt. I used a template to cut a leaf pattern in the shirt, making sure to cut out the part that had the holes. I used soap as tailors chalk.
Then, I carefully cut out the leaf pattern, that I spread out a bit, and wrapped around to the back of the shirt.
After that, I laid out the shirt on a cookie sheet and carefully outlined the inner part of each leaf, using a Q-tip, with bleach. I used that same template and the same techniques with my scarf from last week.

There you go! I have to get busy over here and make my holey shirts look cute like yours!!
Great idea to re-use a product...nothing goes to waste. I love it!
Oh you clever, crafty people. You could SELL that shirt for MONEY now!
Very cute, of course!
Okay.....I have at least 10-15 thin cotton shirts that have holes in that exact spot......I thought it was a moth in my closet. HELLOOOOOO!
I have the same problem!! I wondered how I was getting all those holes. ;) Great solution!!
We love this idea and just featured it on our Facebook page! :)
