Ways to Cover Stained Shirts
November 24, 2009 6:26 amI went through the girls shirts the other day so frustrated by all the stains! So here are some ideas of ways to cover them up!
I did a draping collar and added these silk rosettes on a removable pin.
While getting this one to photograph, Giselle dumped chocolate milk all over it. So here it is, stains and all!
It’s a big flower in a silvery/white fabric. It’s sort of like my Marjorie top!
A simple silk bow.
Brown on brown jersey ruffles.
And, finally, a dusty pink draping neckline with a little jersey bow.
Now they’re good as new!!

I have a stack of stained clothes that I've been meaning to get to. Thanks for the inspiration!

Those all look great! Got any ideas for boys stained shirts? IT's my son who could stand a lesson or two in eating over the plate, not into his lap

I don't think there are enough creative ways to hide stains to cover all of ours.
But this is a great start! thanks–love em!

You are so generous with your talents!!! I don't know if it's something you've thought about, but if you added a tip jar to this blog, I know I would contribute!!! (www.indietutes.blogspot.com has an example)
BTW, any ideas for refashioning shirts in such a way that you make them longer? I'm tall and after a few washings, a lot of my cotton/jersey shirts shrink to a Britney Spears style.

Ha! I am actually doing this tonight with a white shirt that was quickly stained. Total bummer! but at least I can still get some wear out of it!
