Needlework Monday Embellishing T-shirts

I like to crochet with thread, but one can only use so many doilies, so I decided to crochet a lacy edge on the neckline and sleeves of some t-shirts.

First I cut the neckline down

Then I cut a few inches off the sleeves

Then I pinned a hem on the cut edges...

And worked a blanket stitch all around so I would have something to crochet into.

Now for the fun part... Single crochet, chain 3 all around

And again

Repeat until the lace is the size that you want

You can match the thread colour to the shirt like this...

Or you can change it up, and even crochet appliques to add, like this...

It's just a fun way to work simple crochet onto an everyday t-shirt .
