Homemade Scallops

Dear Fashion Diary,









This Goodwill shirt didn't start out as a scalloped wonder! 
For whatever reason, when I bought this shirt I saw it as a scalloped shirt in  my head.
So I brought home yet another sewing project and decided to try it out! 
I took out the bottom hem of the shirt first,


Then I made my own pattern simply by tracing the circles from a cup
 and traced it onto a newspaper. Newspaper makes for 
great substitute pattern paper if you want to cut out something simple!


This was the hardest part. Hand stitching the tiny stitches to hem the scallops! 
Took forever but it was worth it :)


And voi-la!




What's next? My own scalloped skirt! Maybe one day..

Pin It!
