I recently got the chance to have some photography done by the talented Dave Blenis showcasing some of my homemade clothes. I was blown away by his photographs. They made my clothes seem legit! I had made this shirt last year prior to my sewing blog, so never got a chance to share it until just now. Though I had made the shirt from scratch, the method of applying an open back bow can be used for any t-shirt refashion and is a fun and easy way to spice up your wardrobe.

I’ve seen a lot of wonderful examples of t-shirts incorporating lace into their design out there in the blogosphere. Some of my favorite sources of inspiration include posts from Cotton and Curls, Pearls and Scissors, and So, Zo…What do you Know?. Today will be my own take on the subject.
