My Petal Shirt

I posted about this shirt {here} quite a while ago.

  Using {this Pleated Poppy tutorial} I made this shirt:

I bought {two shirts at Old Navy for $5 each}.  Cut up one for the circles, and used the other as the shirt.

Mine turned out different from the pleated poppy shirt, shown above.  But, I still like it.

I think I cut my circles quite a bit smaller than Miss Pleated Poppy did...  Mine were between 1 and 2 inches in diameter.

In her tutorial she says that the shirt ended up looking a little too ruffly for her, so she used a sewing machine and stitched over the top of all the "petals" to sort of flatten them.  I decided I liked the fluffies.  So, I didn't sew over them.  I did stitch the edges of the circles to the shirt so they lay underneath other circles.  This ensured that they layed how I wanted them to lay on the shirt instead of being dragged down by gravity.  And maybe that's a big part of why my shirt looks different than hers.

No matter - I love the way it turned out!!  Might have to buy more double shirts and get even more creative!
