I finished that shirt, finally! If I had Jeff for a day I could have had it done much sooner but that guy hasn't had very many days off work lately! (I'm not complaining by any means, we are feeling very fortunate for that fact!) My dearest Adrian requires my attention from time to time and he also happens to sleep in my "craft room" so I get kicked out every few hours. Here it is:
I'm thinking about adding stitching, a bunch of lines following the rest of the neckline on the left (right side if you are wearing it) and then below the flowers that go down in the center. I wish I could draw lines on it so you could see what I was talking about. I don't think I have a program to do that. But I've been known to be wrong a time or two. (Or 70.)
What do you think? Stitch the lines or leave it as is??
I had to add another random little accent because I'm me:
I was thinking of putting this in the shop but because the flowers are already fraying so much, I'm nervous to do that. Unfortunately for me, it's too small so I don't even get to wear it! Maybe I'll convince one of my little sisters to take it...
Either way, be looking for something similar in the future! (Don't worry, I'll let you know when it arrives!)
So what do you think? Add the stitching or no? Anybody? Anybody? Tell me what you think!
Reality, I'm checking out. I'll see you next month! (Tomorrow is the last day of this month that I will be seeing the U.P. We'll be taking our computer so I'll still be posting but it may not be as regular as it's been lately!)

I love it! Add stitching I think, although it's nice without too. P.S. I like your blog and check it regularly. Random, huh. :)
Looks awesome! Love the button. Not sure on the stitching - what I picture is something too busy - but I could be completely wrong!
I like the button as well. If I'm picturing the stitching correctly, I think the shirt might be too busy. I really like it the way it is! Have fun on your adventures this month!!
You are nuts girl!! Can't believe what you did with a plain ol shirt! It is really cute! Not really getting what you are talking about with the stitching....and I think you should try and sell it or....give it away on here...I'm sure you have some teany-tiny readers or readers with tean-tiny friends! :)
love the button!
I like it! If it doesn't fit, you should try the stiching and see if it looks alright.. then if and when you decide to make another, you'll know what you want. Looks awesome!
It turned out really cute! I say go for the stitching. I love details and if it's what I'm picturing, it'd be cool. Of course I really have no idea what you're thinking with it though...
Get some fray-check (not sure if that's the correct spelling) and add it to all the cut ends of the ribbon. It would be a little bit of a job with that many, but totally worth it so they don't completely unravel. I like the look of the worn, raveled edges, though.
