From Blah to Ta-Da!

Recently, I discovered http://www.meringuedesigns.net/.  She sells wonderfully digitized modern embroidery & applique designs.  I purchased the Scribbled Daisy design last night and I see many more purchases in the future!  Just wanted to take the time to show how I brought new life to this plain white t-shirt.

 

Nothing exciting here.....

  

  Ta-Da!!

Here's the neat part!  Instead of turning to my fabric stash, I turned to the stash of clothes that I know I'll never wear again - primarily due to the fact that THEY DON'T FIT & I'm in DENIAL about the fact that they NEVER will again. So for my sewing & applique friends, don't fret over clothes that are too small or accidentally get dried in the dryer!  Cut them up and "re-purpose" the fabric! 

Close up - love the scribbles!                                             Shirt I haven't worn in years







A New Look!

Thanks to Facebook, our world is a lot smaller than it once was.  I've met and done business with people in many places in the US and even a sweet lady in the UK.  Just a quick "Thank You" to http://www.facebook.com/CherishedMemories who helped me with redesigning this blog, my logo & business cards!  Even though our correspondence was only virtual, I feel like she could have been a friend just down the street.  I love The Plaid Pineapple's new look!!
