This turned out better than I thought it would! When I saw the idea
here, I thought, "well that looks adorable, but is it really as simple as she is making it out to be?!"
YES! It is!
It's so simple, in fact, that I don't even need to give you instructions. You can see exactly what I did from the pictures. Well, ok, maybe just a few instructions are needed. ;)
I started with hubby's old, size Large, t-shirt.
Cut off the collar and sleeves.
Fold the top cut edge down about 3/4" to make a casing for the straps. Sew.
From the scrap pieces, cut 2 straps the same length, and thin enough to fit through your casing.
They don't have to be identical, because you won't see the imperfections once it's inside the casing and tied together as straps.
Put a safety pin on the end so you can feed it through the casing. Repeat with other strap.
Tie straps and you've made yourself a cute little tank! I also wanted to add a little flare to it, so I thought I could do something creative with the collar of the original shirt.
First I cut it out.
And cut through one time to make 1 long strip. Then I started rolling it, with intentions of making a rosette.
It started off nicely, but I wasn't impressed with the final product, so I unrolled it and tied a simple bow. Much better.
Adds a nice touch, don't you think?
