Meg is a darling stay at home mom who loves to create, but on a budget. Don’t you find that some of the most creative projects come from being on a budget?
Mbellished
Being true to her name, she embellished a t-shirt. She bought 2 shirts in the same color……..but you could certainly use a different color making this possible with supplies you may already have……….right now!
She cut one t-shirt in one long narrow strip.
Taking her long strips, she laid them out in the design she wanted, fired up her sewing machine and had a new top before she could say “Ha ha ha, Kim can’t sew, but I can”.
Because she’s so thrifty……..and crafty……….she didn’t blink an eye when her friend gave her this plain ole purse. She knew with a bit of fabric and her scissors, she could create a darling new accessory for herself.
And here’s a full tutorial on how to make these cute fabric flowers.
Now here’s a brilliant idea. I love the way it looks, I love that it we can all make it for only a couple of dollars. She made her own dry erase boards………but SO much cuter. Don’t you think?
You could use these so many different places. The mud room, the laundry room, the kitchen, etc……..love it. Go visit Meg and tell how much we love her.

OH! And the Modern Bird Studio’s winner never contacted me……….you know what that means? I’ll have to choose another one. So leave me a comment here.

I love the shirt from mbellished.
Pretty pretty please pick me! I have this weird thing where I won’t pay for art (because I believe that 9 out of 10 times I can make something I like) but I LOVE Modern Bird Studio and have been totally lusting over a piece from them for awhile now.
Thanks for the chance to win!
What a great Christmas present. Please pick me.
lovin what modern bird studio does, and your blog too. look forward to all the crafts
LOVE that AbFab altered T! It got me wondering how hard it might be to sew jeans seams strips like that. They’d be pretty thick, but maybe… hmmmm…..
Does the body come with the t-shirt? My boobs are a little further south. I still think I’d look darling in that shirt, though.
I would love to be the new winner!
Pick me please! : )
What a great transformation on that shirt!
That T-shirt is so very cute! So is the purse. I love cute creativity like that!
I hope I win the Modern Bird Studio giveaway!
Love the tshirt. I bought a shirt from Coldwater Creek for $58 using the same method, except there is an embellishment on the back shoulder! Next time I will do it myself. I quickly figured out their method! Nice to see someone else’s interpretation of a wonderful updo of a plain tshirt.
What a great shirt! Thanks for the inspiration!
And that modern bird winner … what a pity!
Ooh! Thanks a bunch for the picture tutorial on the fabric flowers…been wanting to make those for a while.
