Carolyn from Carolyn’s Homework shows how she embellished a plain t-shirt with a meandering vine of dimensional rosettes. She made the rosette trim out of recycled t-shirt yarn. The navy and white is a cute color combo for summer, but this would be pretty in other colors as well – even in a tone-on-tone palette. Get the how-to.

Freebie: Printable Christmas Eve magic pillowcase poem
With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve. Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve. When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams. She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.

I am a crafter and I don’t with fabric very much, but I find something here that I like from time to time. Well, I love the embellished tee, but none of the links go to the tut. I don’t have time to search a whole blog or web site to find something. Can’t you make sure that your links actually go to the project that you are showing? Thanks, Mary
Sorry about that! I have corrected the link. –Anne
