Inspired I decided to do a little holiday refashioning. Take one preloved Nicole Farhi t-shirt and combine with contrast woven fabric.
First I unpicked the hem of the t-shirt and pressed it flat.
For the frill I cut 2 strips 20cm wide x width of the fabric and joined the short ends together to make a loop. I pressed the loop in half lengthwise and overlocked the raw edges together.
Lastly I gathered the frill evenly and without stretching the jersey underneath stitched it on.....
Voilà! my newly revamped summery t-shirt.
