If I were twelve I might be able to carry this off. I should have known because it was all too easy! I took an old tee shirt, cut up the front and cut off the neckband; created a casing by folding over the cut part; then threaded a ribbon through it. It's sloppily done, and so I'm throwing it back in the "To be re-fashioned" pile. I really need to learn a little about sewing knits. Does anyone have a book or website suggestion?
I have no advice to offer, but I do have a t-shirt I've wanted re-fashioned for years! Need a project??? :)
ReplyDeleteI just did this project tonight. Happened to find it on another blog but funny I ran across that you did it too. The ribbon bow thing is what makes me feel a bit young in it. I've already started modifying it so it will have a big button or something like that. As for knits, I just did some length adjustments on my machine. But this is the first project I've sewed on my new Viking so I think it sort of self adjusts. My old Janome would have messed this project up. I posted on my blog about the shrug so you can see how mine turned out so far, before doing my modifications. PS...fun blog!
