Betz White came up with a new twist on a favorite idea from The Purl Bee - highlight well-loved t-shirts in embroidery hoops :) This would also work for any of your child's clothing that they've outgrown but you just can't bear to part with!

Neat idea! Concert t's repurposed this way would look great in a teen's room.

What a wonderful idea. I have a couple pieces that I can see doing this with in the boys' bedroom... Off to seek some hoops from Goodwill or freecycle.

so simple and so genius! I have several outfits, now I just need the hoops.
