Easy Shirt Fix & Homemade Bread

Another shirt that I bought from the rummage sale and it is white made out of cotton, which is so comfy to wear especially now that the weather is heating up! Anyway, this is just a quick and easy fix to a medium size shirt turned into a small size t-shirt. I didn't have to take the sleeves off, I just went ahead and stitched the sides of the shirt up to the sleeves and then cut off the excess. Of course I had to save the cut outs and made it into rosettes. This is what I did!





I used fabric glue to secure the rosettes on the shirt. Since I didn't have that much cut outs left, I only made 3 fabric rosettes out of it. Nothing goes to waste!

It's Sewtastic, Mama!

Anyway, I have something to share to you and this time it is food! My favorite Outback Steakhouse's Honey Wheat Bushman Bread! Yaye! I am excited to share this to you for those who have not tried making it at home because it is so delicious. If you happen to have a bread maker and would love to make some, then here is the recipe for you that I found online. With mine, I omitted the use of the caramel color or the food coloring since I am not a fan of that. It was fine without it and I even put milled flax seed in my bread. Boy! Oh boy! It was delicious.
