I am obsessed with these flowers!

I learned how to make these little flowers from a tutorial from Sandi Henderson.  I have put

them on a headband and loved how they turned out.

For Christmas this past year, I got a tshirt as a gift from JCrew.  Well, it was from my sister in law, but she got it at JCrew.  ha ha.

As soon as I opened it I was in love and knew I had to try and make some more!!  I am on the verge of ending up with a closet full of these tshirts.

So here is JCrew's version.

Here is my version!

This is actually for my big girl to wear on Easter.  I found this little burnout tee at Old Navy.  I think it was on sale for around $7.  I bought a yard on chiffon at Hobby Lobby for about $3 and I had the tulle and button on hand already.   I am sure I did this for less than JCrew! 

I took a look at how mine was made.  The flowers are all handsewn to a piece of tulle and then the tulle is sewn to the shirt.  I went ahead and did it this way.  I made two, one for each of my girls and I took a tip I found in between.  I found a post on Tatertots and Jello, where Jen made throw pillows with yoyo's on them.  She gave a tip that you should attatch the yoyo's to one another before sewing them to the pillow.  I took this advice with the flowers and tried it on the second shirt.  I worked out much better! 

So now, I have all of these little lovely flowers that will soon be attatched to headbands for Sunday.

I did one with just the chiffon, one with tulle twisted in with it and one with a sparkly brad in the center.  One thing I've done that has made the flower making easier, is tying the fabric in a knot at the end and using that as your center starting point.

I will wait until Easter to show you the whole ensemble!  I'm excited how the outfits turned out. 

Have a Happy Easter!
