T-shirt flowers

My daughter is a chip off the old block so to speak and just loves getting messy with glue and paint.  This was evident when we went to a Messy Play session after school one day.  All the other children managed to keep clean (even my 3 year old!) but my daughter came home with rainbow splodges on her nice white school polo shirt.  Even after a wash with Vanish it still looked like this:

I then remembered something I had pinned on Pinterest about making flowers from t-shirt material and had to give it a try - I wasn't going to let this T-shirt go to waste after only a couple of months wear!  So thank you to Elna Allen for posting.  This was actually very simple and has got me addicted.  I think there may be some brooch pins bought and stocking fillers made!

Favourite T-shirt

This was a favourite T-shirt of both my son and myself.  I thought it made him look really cute, and everytime it went back in the drawer he pulled it out again.  So it was a sad time when we deceided that really he had grown to big for it and it was time to pass it on.  Now most of my childrens clothes which I would consider as still wearable will go to friends or the charity bag, but I didn't really want to part with this one.  Then I remembered seeing somewhere, t-shirts being turned into cushions.  Now I am really sorry to that person but I can't find it anywhere, but had a go. 

I machine sewed the bottom and arm holes and then filled with stuffing,  I then stiched around the neckline.  My son was impressed and it now sits proudly in his bedroom.
