Peep Shoulder, Lemon Shirt, DIY.

I love the contrast between yellow and white, especially in the summertime. 

Here is a easy way to decorate a shirt with a little yellow fabric paint and a half of a lemon,  then I transformed the plain shirt into a beach cover up or a fun summer shirt. 

Basic sewing required on this one.

 Tutorial

Things you need

• Yellow Fabric Paint or Dye
• Lemon cut in half
• Paper Plate or Small bowl
• T-Shirt * Mine in an XL mens
• Scissors
• Sewing Machine
• Straight Pins 
• Aluminum Foil
• Chalk

•  Place some aluminum foil between the shirt.

•  Put some Fabric paint on a plate or in a bowl.
• Place the lemon in the paint, wipe off excess, you do not want a bunch of paint.

•  Stamp  the front of the shirt, wait for that to dry and then stamp the back.

•  Let it dry completely.

•  Cut the hem off of the Shirt or use another shirt.
• *I used another shirt I had.

•  Fold the shirt in half.
• Mark the shirt with chalk.

I eyeballed where I wanted the point of the shirt to go but you could measure.

basically, the point, is right about your breast.

• Fold the cut strip in half.
•  From the half way mark pin the strip to the top of the shirt.

* I did a little folded pleat in the front, but you do not have to.

•  Pin the back part of the strip to the back of the shirt, you will have some left over strip.
• Let that hang for now.

• I also pinned the sleeves with a pleat. 

•  Sew the strip to the shirt front and back.
• Also sew the pleat on the sleeve.

•  On the back, sew to where the two pieces meet.

•  Tie them and trim if needed.

 Back

 Front

I tied it up on the side because it was so long.

 Great for a beach cover up or even a cute Night shirt.

I hope you have fun making this. 

I think it would be a really cute little girls beach cover up too.

Just buy a small child's shirt.

Have a beautiful day.

Lots of <3,
