cream flower cardigan/shirt DIY

April 13, 2011~ DIY DREAM HOUSE

i had this shirt in my closet.  it’s a very cute shirt but for some reason i’ve only worn it once, and i don’t know why!  so to make sure it gets better use, i took out the flowers and added it to other clothes.  plus, i needed a cream shirt for another DIY i’m doing. πŸ˜‰
i cut out 4 flowers and added it to my plain black cardigan

and since we all know i don’t like to waste any scraps of fabric, i added the left over 2 flowers onto my girl’s white t-shirt.
she wasn’t quiet ready to take pictures
and she didn’t want to pose for the camera so i had to bribe her with chocolate.
and all of the sudden, BAM, she starts posing like crazy!
oh, the power of negotiation!
and i know i went overboard on posting pictures of my little girl
 but she’s just so cute.

    Love the contrast of the white flowers with your black top. How cute is your little girl posing toward the end! πŸ™‚

    more great ideas! i love it that i have a daughter the same age. not only are your kid wardrobe embellishments adorable, they are handy for hiding stains!

    Gotta hand it to Adalie… She's got more poses than any grown up model! If she's like this now, imagine how "pro" she'll be at posing when she's older! She's so cute. I like her hair straight~

    Hahah I thought her hair was straightened but it just looks straight from one angle. I just meant to say that I liked her hair in the pictures. LOL… she's always cute. p.s. great job on the cardigan!

    OH your daughter is absolutely adorable! I love her shirt with the flowers. I keep seeing these great projects to make but have no one to make them for. (I know my sons would not appreciate flowers… ha ha!)
