Flowery shirt

Another recon that I started on Sunday and was hoping to finish but ..... sigh .... wish I had more time.

Anyway, it was a sleeveless shirt and I cut the collar off as shown above. I was thinking about what to do and I saw what Katie did for her girls' dresses. It inspired me to do something similar but then I thought if I had a bit too many flowers I'd be overpowered by them :-) You know what I mean!

So, I took some old lace and scraps to make a nice flower for the collar. I used Katie's tutorial. It's so easy to do! All you need are scissors, needle and thread. You don't have to be accurate when cutting the material out for the flowers.

I've decided that my flowers will form part of a brooch as I have another one that I made a few days ago which I think I can wear with this top.

So, after I've finished with the brooch, I will be lining the collar with lace to give it a vintage feel.
