This is a shirt I found at a garage sale for $1. I loved the embroidery and thought I could upcycle the shirt into something I could use all the time. Here is the front view:

I cut the embroidered part into strips and just sewed them onto towels I bought at the dollar store. I love how they turned out. I couldn’t stand the thought of this beautiful embroidery going to a landfill. And now it won’t. At least for a while.
