Following a question I decided to show you how to attach a crochet trim to a tee. This is so easy and sort of clicks when you see it, so I wonder if I should be doing this.
What you need:
- A simple t-shirt
- A crochet trim
- Embroidery thread
- Embroidery needle
- Pins
Position the trim on your tee.
Pin the trim in place.
Please note that I am on vacation - pinless- so I had to improvise and used hairpins instead.
Employ the running stitch to sew it on. Sew close to the edge of the t-shirt and be careful to do the sewing on the foundation of the crochet trim since it is denser there and your sewing stitch wouldn't show.
A look from behind:
Up front. See... it doesn't show.
And that's it. This can also be sewn by a sewing machine. It's up to you.
Next time I will show you the difficult bit - how to actually crochet on the tee.

I love the impromptu pins! I've seen something very similar for sale for quilters to use for binding their quilts - at first I thought that is what they were. Very cute singlet top too.
Aww, soooo cute! I love it!
I still can't get over how easy you make this look. Thank you for linking up last week at Sew Woodsy! Please come back tomorrow and link up your most recent project!
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing. I am so inspired!
I REALLY love this, Maya! Especially the gray on gray. It's such a neat look :)
it looks great!
I can't wait for the tut on crocheting on the Tee. I tired it awhile back and it did not turn out to well for me. I just gave up.
Wildflower: the tute is ready for quite a while now, but I am to guest another fabulous blog with it, so that's why I am not posting it yet. It should happen in the middle of this week!
And it's not as hard as you think (you'll see). Don't ever give up!!
I never do :)
Love this! Is there a pattern for the crochet piece?
