| You can convert some simple plain T-shirts into unique and fashionable
tops using just a little bit of time, some freestanding lace designs and
a dash of creativity. We used designs from the FSL
3D Necklace Set. |
|
|
| Besides an embroidery machine and the FSL
3D Necklace Set you will need a t-shirt, either a sewing machine or
fabric glue, and small embellishments to suit your taste - crystals, beads,
etc. (optional). |
|
Embroidery:
|
| The patterns from the FSL
3D Necklace Set are a very dense free-standing embroidery. We do not
recommend to embroider them right on the relatively light and stretchy
fabric of the t-shirts. Please embroider the designs as described in the
instructions. |
|
Embrlishing:
|
| For the pink t-shirt (small size) with a V-neck we used 2 designs (the
side panels of the necklace). We turned them so that the flowers meet in
the center. |
|
| For the taupe t-shirt we embroidered the side panels and the
central design. |
|
| Step One: Embroider the designs as described in the
instructions. |
| Step Two: Position the designs on a T-shirt as you like. |
| Step Three: Baste the designs to the t-shirt. It's possible
to pin them, however that makes the next step a little more difficult. |
| Step Four: Put on the t-shirt to check that there are no mistakes
and that all the designs sit correctly in the spots you want them to be. |
| Step Five: When you are fully satisfied with the position of
the patterns, attach the designs permanently. For this, you can either
stitch them on your sewing machine, or use a permanent fabric glue.
If you prefer stitching, use the same thread with which you made the
embroidery. Use a running stitch. I prefer to use a free-motion foot,
but a regular foot will work too.
If you prefer fabric glue, place a layer of paper and waste fabric inside
the T-shirt, to prevent the front and the back from sticking together when
the glue runs. Don't overapply the glue! |

Enjoy!
