During summer in the South, tank tops are essential and I own a ton of tank tops in a variety of colors but all of them are plain, which is fine for relaxing at home but sometimes I want to go out somewhere nicer but still want to wear one of my comfy tanks. This is why I decided to sew on some flowers to one of my many grey tank tops.
To start this project, I grabbed a handful of silk flowers (left over from a friends wedding) and took off the stems and the center pieces and was left with just the flower and no plastic parts. Then I matched up a few flowers together and positioned them in many places on the tank finding what I liked most and then marked it. Next I took my needle and thread and went up from the back of the fabric to the top, placed the flower petals on for the first flower and added a small bead then took my needle and thread back down and repeated that for 3 beads. Then I did that to both of the other flowers. Now I have a new top. Super simple and now I have a dresser but still comfy tank.
