SENIOR LADY: DIY CHRISTMAS T-SHIRTS, PART 2

-

 



ITEMS NEEDED FOR CHRISTMAS T-SHIRTS:

Blank Tee Shirts ( Neutral & Christmas Colors )

Christmas Theme Fat Quarters or Pre-cut Fabric

Free Online, Christmas Templates, Printed:

Bell, Tree, Stocking, Star, Snowman 

Embellishments:

Acrylic Gem Stickers, 315 Count, Christmas Colors

Acrylic Gem Stickers, 315 Count, Gold, Silver, Clear

Snowflakes 12 pieces 


Tools:

Glue Gun & Glue Sticks 

Scissors

Straight pins


INSTRUCTIONS:

Cut out printed template (using tree 

 template for demonstration). I pinned 

 tree on back/reverse side of fabric. Used

 black, thin print Sharpie to draw tree on

 fabric. I cut out three trees for my plus

 sized tee shirt. One red buffalo print tree,

 one green buffalo print tree, one blue buffalo 

print tree= 3 cut outs. 





I pinned each tree in front middle area of

 my shirt (in straight row). Used glue gun

to secure trees on shirt. I embellished each 

tree with clear gem stickers around the edges.

Reinforced gems with dot of glue.






Note:


** Brand name tee shirts available for

discount prices @ Discount Stores.


** Used 30 pieces count, small white faux flowers, snowflakes out of stock.


** I used same instructions for each tee

shirt. I chose  Christmas fabric which

matched color of the shirt. Three pieces

were cut out from one template. For 

example,  three bells cut out from one

bell template. Endless templates offered

free online. Drawings simple to intricate.


** Christmas DIY tees were inexpensive to

create; each shirt costs about $15.


** Straight pens unnecessary, to hold 

template in place,  if skills allow  

you to trace template easily.


** Design pieces can be hand sewn 

on shirt, if desired. Adding gems

around pieces are optional. Tiny

buttons, beads, faux snow flakes,

mini pom pom trim, & ribbons 

can be used for decorations.

SENIOR WOMEN CAN WEAR PONYTAILS

Ah, the Sixties, when the ponytail was a style that all of us wore often.The ponytail has been updated and revamped many times. One thing for sure this style will always be around.  It is versatile and can used to look classy for evening out or casual on a "Bad Hair Day".   The question for the senior lady is when style of ponytail is appropriate.  We do not want to look like a young girl or a teenager. I have seen older women that wear ponytails on every occasion. I would hate to see a senior lady at a funeral or a black tie affair with a messy ponytail held by a rubber band! Some styles of ponys are meant to be casual.  Here are some ponys that look  alright for a classy senior lady:      HOW TO STYLE PONYTAIL OVER 50 PONYTAIL FOR RECEDING HAIR

THE JEAN SCENE 4 WOMEN!

I love wearing jeans. They are  more enjoyable when they fit well. They flatter your figure. I am very envious when I see  a classy senior lady looking good in her denim outfit. I  have seen that crisp white  shirt, flattering jeans and a nice pair of boots. I was inspired to put more effort  into my attire after I saw a jeans show on Rachel Ray show.  Her guest explained that you have to find the correct jeans for your  body type.  I know they make  skinny jeans to fit every woman, but I must pass on this style. I have seen some denim styles that  I have tried to copy. They are classy and flattering. Here are some of the styles:

SENIOR WOMEN, LOOKING GOOD JULY 4TH

I chose these shoes to get your attention. I  couldn't wear  heels this high, young or old!  I choose my July 4th outfit carefully. I do not want to look like a walking flag!!  Several years ago I used to buy matching patriotic t-shirts for my husband and I. I must tell you that July 4th was only time he would agree to looking like the Bobbsey Twins. He had a few rules for me. We could wear matching  t-shirts as long as they weren't girly or pink. I have been looking at patriotic clothing and accessories this week. I found all of them on Google and are available under "shopping". I need to buy something very soon. ****************************************************************************** MY WISH LIST:     TOPS/SKIRTS/CAPRI                            ...
