I've been seeing these cute sweaters and shirts with pretty feminine ruffles and flowers all over the place and I decided to try to make some of my own.
First, I bought a used cardigan from the D.I. for about 3 bucks. If you aren't into used stuff then you could buy a new plain one, or use one you already have.
Next, I made a flower template on some card stock.
Then, I found an old T-shirt that was destined for the rag pile. I traced out flower shapes and cut them out from the knit fabric from the old shirt. I love the knit fabric for this because it curls and makes the flowers look more interesting.
You'll want to cut out several sizes of flowers too. That way you can layer them on top of each other and have it look more like a real flower.
After layering them on top of each other, sew them together with a bit of thread. You could just sew them directly onto the shirt without sewing them together first, but I find they are easier to manage when they are already attached to one another.
The last step is to sew them onto your shirt or sweater! Make sure to sew at least the bottom petals down so that the flower doesn't flop around when you wear it.
Now you can happily wear your feminine clothing around knowing that you didn't spend a small fortune on it!
