Argyle-ish Tee

I love all of the argyle shirts I'm seeing around.  Old Navy has several right now that are so dang cute, but they cost twelve bucks!  So, I said to myself, "Self, why buy a shirt for $12 when you can just snazz up one of bug's plain tees for free?"  And, so I did.  Here's what I did:

• raid bug's drawer for plain white tee
• scavenge through scrap bag for some kind of plaid and coordinating plain fabric
• drive to Joann's anyway to pick up some adorable fabric anyway ( I came home with 1/8 yd of cute blue plaid, a 9x12 piece of gray felt, and a 9x12 piece of light blue felt=$4)
• cut out several diamonds of all three fabrics and laid them out on the shirt in a pattern I liked
• attached diamonds to iron-on no-sew heat n bond, then cut heat n bond to size
• peeled paper off heat n bonded diamonds one at a time, so as not to screw up the pattern
• ironed all the diamonds on to the tee
• took a ruler and drew diagonal lines through the diamonds with a water soluble fabric pen
• used embroidery floss to stitch on lines
• pushed it over bug's head and took a thousand pictures
