Embroidery With Sequins (Patriotic T-shirt )

Embroidering with sequins takes time and patience to do. But it does change the look of an old T-shirt. In today's tutorial example, the word, USA was embroidered onto a t-shirt. Then, a star was embroidered on one side of the t-shirt. After that sequins were added to the t-shirt. 

This embroidery project takes approximately two or three days to complete. You can embroider this design in one color or all three colors of the American flag. The fun part of embroidering is adding sequins to the t-shirt. Silver sequins were used to decorate the embroidered star of the t-shirt. However, you can use red or blue sequins to add more color to the embroidered star.

You can use a free stencil maker for the letters on this T-shirt. However, you can also use a computer writing program to select the font and the size of the letters for your t-shirt. The best size font for this t-shirt was two hundred in size and a calligraphy font style. Also, you can find a star in your writing program to use for designing your patriotic t-shirt. Here is the tutorial for making this t-shirt.
