Rolled rose take 2...

Hello everyone! I'm Kierste, the girl behind Brown Paper Packages, and I'm delighted to here today!
 I happened to be putting away my girls' laundry in their room, and noticed a pair of jeans that they had grown out of--but only length wise.  They still fit them around the waist, so I thought it would be fun to dress them up a little, and turn them into a darling pair of capris.   What outfit would be complete without a matching shirt?  I also found white capped sleeve tee that needed a little face lift, and knew it would be the perfect complement.

I took some yellow and gray fabric, ironed on fabric interfacing, then used my Silhouette to cut out the shape of the week--the rolled rose--in several different sizes.  All I had to to do was then iron them on to the jeans and shirt, roll up the cuffs, and add a gray grosgrain ribbon belt.  Don't you just {LOVE} it?  In less than 20 minutes this outfit went from drab...to fab! 



Thanks to Silhouette for having me over! Come by Brown Paper Packages and say hi...I'd love to have you!

Happy Crafting!
