UPCYCLE DRAGONFLY SHIRT

I love creating upcycled clothes!

Like this fun denim shirt!

I had this denim shirt in my upcycle stash.

I always buy shirts and jackets too big and alter them to fit me 

This light blue cotton shirt with a thrifted shirt ..size 6X

Waaaaay too big for me.

I just wanted the dragonfly !

Sew I cut it off the shirt and put fusible on the back.

Then I cut out the dragonfly to see how

It would look on the shirt, where I took off a pocket.

Nope needs something else  

I cut a rectangle piece of fabric,

Fused it to the shirt, over the pocket area, 

And then sewed the dragonfly and flower pieces over that.

Of course I zig-zagged all the edges

Of all the pieces to the jacket. 

I love how it tuned out. 

The bottom edge of this shirt was already raveled. 

As you can see above,

I altered the sleeves to 3/4 length. 

Tack them down sew they won’t roll. 

I am finding more and more things to upcycle .

It’s better than them landing in a landfill.
