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.

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
