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.

  7. What a cute shirt!! I love the idea. My girls are probably a little old for it, but my grand-daughters would love it.

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