Floral-applique shirts

YOU’LL NEED:

• Long-sleeve V-neck or scoop-neck shirt (one size larger than you wear)
• Ruler
• Fabric pencil
• Scissors
• Sewing needle
• Thread in same color as shirt
• Fabric glue (such as Unique Stitch)
• Hook-and-eye closure
• Silk flowers (available at sewing stores)
• Straight pins

1. Turn shirt wrong side out. Measure and mark center point of neck and center point of front hem. Use fabric pencil to draw a line connecting the two points. Cut along line.

2. Turn right side out. Fold cut edges under ¼” and press. Fold under 3/8” and press down. Hand stitch or use fabric glue to secure.

3. Sew hook-and-eye closure at even points on each side of neck.

4. Lay shirt on flat surface, front facing up. Arrange flowers and pin. Sew individual flowers. To make bottom layer of petals lie flat, add a drop of glue underneath.
