Ruffle Embellishment Shirt

My mind has been SO many other places, but I think I am back! I am finally feeling crafty again! Here is a new shirt refashion.
First I started out with a plain tee that had a hole in the shoulder from a project gone wrong. Then I found this little flower embellishment at jo ann fabrics for $2 with a coupon!
Next I cut off the sleeve to make it a 3/4 sleeve. I will use the sleeves to make the ruffles
I then cut othe sleeves into four pieces and sewed all the pieces together. Then, using the widest stitch on my sewing machine I sewed right down the middle of the strips, then pulled one string to make it ruffle. When I had it ruffled where I wanted, I sewed it on the shirt!
My finished shirt! After sewing the ruffle one, I sewed on the flower embellishment!
So many possibilites!

    Absolutely fabulous! Welcome back to your craftiness!!
    Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit! I also now have an upcycling clothes page with a linky on it. My aim is to build up a resource where people can come to find ideas and tutorials on what to do with those old clothes they don't want to throw away! You have so many fabulous clothes upcycling projects, I'd love if you linked any of them up to this. It's not just a weekly linky, so the links will stay there for a long time!

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    Love this idea and tried it last night! So cute, but my biggest problem is rehemming the sleeves. It's hard to sew so straight on stretchy fabric - any suggestions?

    To Kim-
    I didn't hem the sleeves! The t shirt material doesn't fray so I just left it!
