Do you still have last minute holiday parties?  Do the kids need a cute shirt to wear to school for their Christmas party? This is a quick easy project that will take you all of about 20 minutes.  Add some rolled flower hair cuties and you got a decked out peppermint pretty!  So bust out your sewing machine and make a quick, easy Christmas shirt.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Red and White Striped Cotton Fabric

White shirt

Scissors

Sewing Machine

Thread

Pins

 

1.  Cut a 1” by 45” piece of striped red and white fabric.  I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $.58 for a 6 inch piece.

3.  Starting at the bottom and working your way up pin the ruffled fabric in place the shape of a candy cane.  Then sew down the middle on the same stitch you ruffled the fabric with pulling the pins out as you go.

Back in December I was perusing Home Goods when I came upon a table on clearance for $65.  I don’t think the color combination of the table appealed to many, hence the reason it was on clearance.  I loved the shape of it, especially the curve on the bottom drawer.   I decided to give this a little chalk-like paint finish makeover using the same colors as the sofa table I did last year with some CeCe Caldwell chalk paint.

  7. Oh. My. Word. Awesome idea! Even cuter because of the ruffles. Perfect Christmas casual outfit, and the hair bows just make the look complete. 🙂

  14. The shirt is so cute. But really, how do you get anything done with that sweet little face around you all day?
