Refashioned T-Shirt Challenge with Craft Foxes

The lovely folks over at Craft Foxes sent me some t-shirts and challenged me to make something of them. There are many books about changing up your tees, and maybe a few (million) ideas online. I really didn’t want to just slash and knot (though that is cool). I wanted it to be even a little original and something I would wear. Well, the shirt came with the Craft Foxes logo emblazoned on front and it screamed to be highlighted, so I embroidered it as if it were a coloring page.So. Much. Fun. I am newly obsessed with embroidery. It’s calming and easy and adds texture and color and it can be improvised (which just might be a general requirement).

I back stitched along the straight lines and added french knots some other places.

I stitched this way and that to fill in the blue background.

I darted the shoulders and changed the neckline.

Head over to Craft Foxes for the full tutorial.
