Finished spaghetti strap tank! |
I had so much fun altering some of my clothing several days ago that I wanted to try it again!
This creation was made with an old t-shirt that belonged to my teenage son and a crocheted halter top that I never felt completely comfortable wearing.
Old T-Shirt |
I cut these sections off of the shirt |
I pinned approximately 1 inch seams on both the front and back of the new neckline and stitched. The sides were left open to allow string to be threaded through. |
I used the bottom strips cut from the t-shirt to thread through neckline. |
Strips cut from the crocheted halter top were pinned and sewn to the bottom of the t-shirt. |
Finished spaghetti strap tank! It was so easy to make. I think it would be a super way to make sundresses for little girls! |
Check out their tutorial for better instructions than mine.
Thanks Crafter Hours!
OMG'sh!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteI have got to get a sewing machine!
Oh you totally should! You'd have such a good time being creative! My machine is just a cheapie from Walmart but I'm pretty happy with it. I'll bet you could even find a good used one somewhere!
DeleteTo think all I bothered to make when I once had a sewing machine was make couch covers. Way to make me feel frumpy. :)
ReplyDeleteHa! At least you got to the couch covers! I've been thinking about it for some time but have yet to find the right fabric.
DeleteAwesome! Will definately have to try this for my daughter!
