Last week Target had their boyfriend v-neck tees on sale for $6 each. So I purchased a couple knowing that I would have to spruce them up a bit. With all of the fun embellished tee's that you see out there lately there were a lot of options. Because I have been going a little crazy crocheting flowers, I already had a couple of little ones made that I had found no use for yet so I crocheted up some more and used them to spruce up my new tee.
This is how the tee started. I love these t-shirts. They are made of very soft cotton knit and have a cute little pocket on the chest. The extra long length is the best part.
These little flowers were crocheted out of Aunt Lydia's crochet thread, size 3 and 10. The smaller flowers are crocheted out of the smaller thread.
The flowers were tacked down on each petal so that when the tee is laundered the flowers will remain flat and not curl up. I am not big on ironing, so anything I can do to keep from having to break out the iron is good for me. The extra time to do this will be worth it in the long run. Here, I introduce you to my new favorite tee. Now, what to do with the white one, hmmmm?

You have certainly glammed up a rather ordinary t-shirt. Looks good.
