Reverse Applique V-Day Tee



I've been wanting to hunker down and practice my sewing skills this winter.  The weather is still cold out so I have no more excuses, except for the fact that sewing can be hard on my back.  Not so fun.

For now I have to stick to quick projects, so I tried out another reverse applique on a t-shirt.  I picked an old one to do this on just in case it didn't turn out, but I was pleasantly surprised!


Now I have something fun to wear on V-day!  Hooray!

If you've never tried the reverse applique technique,  you can check out a great tutorial HERE.

Very cute! I don't think I'm adventurous enough to try it though. :)

Ditto on "cute" -- thanks for the idea. Could see some great kids' t-shirts with this technique.

Super cute! I'm a beginner sewist, as well, and this inspires me to grab some old tees and give 'em a new lease on life. Thanks for sharing at Sew Much Ado!

Came across you on Tater Tots and Jellos link up party! I love t-shirt crafts and as a new sewer I am still in the practice area but yours looks like one I could attempt by hand if I needed to. Which is awesome!!
