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.
I've gotten so many compliments on it. And that makes me happy.
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...
