Bleach stain refashion

This shirt recently got bleach around the collar. I didn't want to just throw it away, so I covered it up in my own creative way. Here are the stains:




I used some fabric that I love to draw a design to cover up the stains. I used the iron-on stuff (sorry, don't remember what it's called), so I could iron the fabric onto the shirt. Then, I sewed around the edges. I decided to do a tight zig-zag stitch, rather than just straight-stitch. This way should hold very well, although it took FOREVER and the thread got caught multiple times. Here's the finished product:

Oh, and I added a gold button to the center of the flower. I'll try to post another pic soon.
Note: The other marks on the shirt are because it's dirty. Once I washed the shirt, they came off.

Ok, here's me wearing the shirt.  Notice the gold button :)
