Lay the t-shirt flat and cut 2cm strips. It's important that the t-shirt has
some elastine in it so the fabric curls up

Once you have as many as you want, double the above pieces over
so it looks like below. Then cut a rectangle piece out of the t-shirt
and wrap it tightly over and over the end that has all the joins of the t-shirt
and stitch in place.

This is how it ends up! She has 2 on in the below picture.
I wore one of them today
As you can see it's amazingly simple. I know now that I'll be keeping an eye out at the Opp shops for nice coloured t-shirts!!
I made good headway with the smocked cushion, but it's a work in progress so I will show you when it's all finished!

Annette this is so awesome! I want to try this today!!! I hope we also get to see your lovely smocked cushion when you're done with it too.
I also wanted to tell you that I love the veranda you have added to your home. We only have a pergola, but I love having a place to sit and watch the world go by. I know you will get so much enjoyment from this addition.

Dearest Annette,
That is oh so cleverly done and it looks very neat. Will be pleasant to wear too as it is cotton!
Thanks for sharing this with your readers.
Lots of love,
Mariette
what a fantastic idea Annette
