Isn’t it fun to take something ordinary and make it extraordinary? Well, that is just what you can do with a plain pair of denim jeans and a white t-top! This pattern is so versatile because you can use any color combination, any kind of fabric, and all sorts of embellishments to make your jeans and t-top uniquely yours. For this “shabby chic” look (which would be perfect for mom, too!), I chose fabrics and embellishments that were subtle shades of rose, sage, ivory, and gold. And, of course, one of my fabrics had great big roses on a soft pink wallpaper stripe. I included some polka dots, a sage green calico with tiny rosebuds, an old-fashioned small floral stripe, and a rosey-peach colored paisley with green accents. So, let’s get started! You will need a pair of jeans and a t-top, and lots of scraps of several fabrics, and lots of snippets of ribbons, lace, and rick-rack. You will also need a selection of beads or beaded ribbon, buttons or charms, and lots of thread for the appliqué. |
