Remember my sad holey tees? Well, I promised I'd show you what I did to "fix" them. Here are the first three.
This one I actually did a while ago, but it was the first of the holey tees to get a make-over.
This one had several spots with holes, which was tricky.
I cut out black flowers and sewed them on over the holes. I plan on sewing on a few more to make it look more "natural."
This one was a mess-it had a HUGE patch of holes.
I cut 5 rectangles, including the spot with the holes, along the bottom of the shirt. Then I choose a fabric that was a lighter shade of pink and cut out rectangles that were just bigger than the rectangles I cut in the shirt. I placed them behind the holes and attached them with a light pink thread. The result is this:

I quite like it. It looks like the lighter fabric is woven through like a ribbon. I'm thinking about adding a little bow on one end. What do you think?
Love this idea! I always have holes in my shirts in the same spots!
