1. Cut several strips of fabric from the old tees. I used a variety
of widths (approx. 1" to 1.5") and lengths (10" to 14"). I cut some of
the strips with plain scissors and others with pinking shears. Notice
that neatness in cutting is not super critical here. :)
2. Set your sewing machine for a gathering stitch (the longest straight stitch with a very loose tension) and stitch along the long side of each strip, about 1/8" from the edge:
There is a pretty good video tutorial on gathering stitches right here - check it out if you're new to sewing!
3. Gently pull the bobbin thread to gather the length of the fabric:
4. After gathering, your strip should want to form a circle like this. I kept the gathering on one end a bit tighter (this will be the center of the flower.)
5. Get your needle and thread ready. Then roll up the fabric in a spiral (not too tight) and while holding the bundle, stitch across the bottom (gathered) side several times to hold the flower together:
6. After you've stitched the bottom of each flower together, turn them over and you should have something that looks like this: (the left flower was not pinked, the right one was!)
7. Repeat steps 1-6 to make as many flowers as you want to adorn your shirt. Then arrange the flowers on the shirt and pin them in place:
