Sequins are in. And I love a little sparkle. So when I found a sequin scarf and black t-shirt on clearance at Kohl's, I knew the two were meant to be together.
The scarf is made of black t-shirt knit with single columns of black sequins
By simply cutting the scarf to the length of the t-shirt and sewing the edges down the middle of the shirt, the sequin black tee was born.
Here are a couple pictures lightened so you can see it a little better (but it really is dark black).
Sewing with sequins is on my mind now...if only Kohl's had a bunch of clearance scarves left...

I'm finding that sequins on mesh are hard to find unless you special order them. I've seen sequins with elastic and sequins on a strand of thread, but nothing like the scarf. Oh well, I guess it makes mine a real original. :)
Here is another sequin shirt refashion. Same scarf, different idea!

the scarf is BRILLIANT!! i remember seeing you wear that shirt thinking, wow she must have spent FOREVER hand sewing each sequin meticulously - b/c all the sequins were so perfectly placed. hahaha jokes on me!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Very cute and so easy! Cute and easy in the same project...now that's a winner. I'll have to be on the lookout for a sequined scarf from now on...
