An Array of Texture Tuesday, T-shirt to Tank

Yes, we will miss the warm weather and the sun, our golden tans and the clothing.  Those simple pieces of an outfit that make you happy, such as a pair of sandals and a tank top.  So to inspire the last few sunny days of summer I am turning a simple t-shirt into a fun and flirty tank.

Before

After

Again, I apologize for the lack of pictures and I promise to improve on it...

To start the transformation from t-shirt to tank, cut off the sleeves of the shirt on the inside of the seam, leaving the raw edge.  Note:  The raw edge look is intentional and most t-shirt fabrics won't fray, just make sure your cuts are smooth.

Next, cut off the hem of the t-shirt, leaving the raw edge as well.

With the leftover fabric from the sleeves, sew together smalls strips, 1/2 inch wide, long enough to make a ruffle all the way around the neck hole and attach it to the shirt.

To add a little more flair, attach a small yo-yo to the side of the neckline.

There you have it.  A simple tank to show off those golden arms (okay, mine not so much) a few more times!
