Burnout shirt mishap and refashion to the rescue
I created a bunch of burnout shirts for a local gymnastics team support crew. I ordered Bella Burnout shirts and applied a
rhinestone design (I created with the Silhouette) and some iron on logo
stencils.
How the mishaps? Before I got my act together I tried to use Martha Stewart
everything paints instead of the glitter vinyl stencil. That did not work. In fact I used her silver
foil, glitter transfer sheets and adhesive as well and none worked for me.
Long story short a few shirts had problems. Enter the refashion.
- I used the reverse applique technique detailed
at Sweet Verbena.
- Simple oval to remove stuck together paint from the right top of the shirt.
- I clipped the hem off a bad shirt and applied a
2 layer ruffle and added flowers made from the standard stacked circles and
cross sewing on the machine. Using some circles cut from the rhinestone letters
incorporates my pink color scheme I am using on the sugar skull. Bingo no more
ugly mess.
- I found a beautiful sugar skull image online at
some point. I wish I could credit the designer but I clipped it for a tattoo
idea and didn’t capture the artist name. I loaded it in my silhouette cut line tool and
went about meticulously creating an iron-on and weeding out the relief.
- Ironed onto the bottom side and my refashion took 30 minutes and now I have a fun shirt.
