I simply cut the strip, gathered a few beads, a section of lace ... and got this after less than 30 minutes.

You could visit my blog to see what the washing machine did that made me create this refashion project.

Step 1: Materials

Plain top
1 strip of t-shirt
Pearl and clear beads
Lace
Sewing needle and thread

Step 2: Cut Hem

NOTE: You may want to practice the steps and see if you like how your rosette looks before attempting to sew it into position.

Cut the bottom of your tee (the hem) to yield a 36cm strip. You can use a longer strip to make a bigger flower or a shorter one to make a smaller flower.

Step 3: Fold and Sew

Fold down to create a triangle at one of the ends. Sew into position.

Step 4: Crease and Sew

3. Crease the lower part of the strip and fold it towards the triangle. Sew into position.

Step 5: Crease and Sew Again

Crease at a lower part along the strip again, this time a further distance away from the 2nd crease. Sew into position.

Step 6: Turn and Sew

Turn the strip towards the first triangle to cover the bottom part of the triangle. Sew into position.

Step 7: Crease, Turn, Cover and Sew

Crease and turn it anti-clockwise. The first triangle should be partially covered. Sew into position.

Step 8: Fold and Sew

Fold the strip down while turning the strip anti-clockwise. Sew into position.

Step 9: Continue

Continue folding and turning at random and sew into position. You should get a rosette that looks something like this. It's ok if your rosette looks lightly different from mine. That's the beauty of it!
