So I have been looking, on Pinterest obviously, for ideas and things I can make without a machine and came across this amazing piece
I can do this I said to myself and started looking for a a collar.
Following the steps from the link above I got started on my own creation.
1. My chosen shirt and selected collar. Firstly I cut off the collar, making sure I kept the button.
Found it easier to open the shirt up and to lay it flat and then cut it.
2.
I chose these green sequins I had and placed the sequins where I wanted them.
I used a pen to pinpoint the middle of the sequin so I would know where exactly I wanted to sew them.
3.
Here is the completed one side of the collar.
At this point I had not decided if I wanted more sequins or to leave it just on the main collar part.
4.
Here are the two collar ends completed.
Looking at it I decided to add more. I will continue all the way around the collar to better the collar.
It is only white and green and I think if it would to be worn it needs a bit more to make it worthy of being worn.
5.
Here I have noted where I want to put the additional sequins, now to start the sewing
As this was my first DIY refashion item I am rather happy with the outcome.
Not to shabby if I do say so myself
Ignore the awkward posing and smile, but this is what it looks like on me.
Next time maybe I will find an outfit to match when photographing.
YEY my first refashion/DIY/recycling done. Now on to the next one.
