You are NOT going to believe what Megan does with this…

Who is Megan?  Let’s get acquainted.

Megan

sUPER hERO power wished for:

the ability to CLONE myself! I’d love to have an assistant

“Hey it’s Megan from Brassy Apple.

I describe myself a pattern designer by night and a mom to 4 by day! I design sewing patterns, aprons and fun trendy accessories for the modern woman and her stylish kin! I do most of my work during nap times and “after hours” when the kids are in bed as I am sure so many other moms can relate to as well.

I got started with my business when my daughter was young and I needed an outlet for the things I loved to do besides reading nursery rhymes and playing dolls all day with her. I refined my niche and fueled my passion for design, creating, crafting and upcycling.

You can peek into all my projects, photography and how-to tutorials on everything from home decor, to fashion to activities for your kids on the Brassy Apple Blog.”

Did you catch the part about the polka-dots?  Just checking.

The “KnotTEE” spring top

Materials:

1 t-shirt (any color. best if it’s 1 size larger than you normally wear)

scissors

measuring tape

Step1: Cut up the middle from bottom through the top

Step 2: Measure from the outside of the collar 10″ down to the middle line you just cut. Cut away the material. Repeat on the opposite side.

Step 3: Cut off the remaining collar.

Step 4: Cut strips about 3″ long and about 1″ wide all the way down each side.

Step 5: Starting at the top, take 1 strip from each side and tie in a knot bringing the center together. Continue all the way down.

Step 6: Cut off the cuff of each sleeve.

Step 7: Cut a 1″ slit on the “top” of the sleeve

Step 8: Cut a 3″ slit into the sleeve. (this creates 2 pieces to knot like the front of the shirt) Tie into a knot on each sleeve.

and you are done! It’s not a “fancy” top but it’s one that ANYONE can do – even your kids – and that’s why I wanted to share this design. It’s still a plain colored t-shirt but now it’s got texture, interest and something people will notice about it.

Here is her last one she is posting on her blog as we speak…

You’ll have to hop over to check it out!
