Remember my very first Friday Fashion flop? The
blue striped raglan sleeve disaster?
If you don't, and would like a little laugh, feel free to check it out now.
Oh, it is just hideous!
But I love the fabric. Its just kinda fun with the sparkles running through it. It definitely has a summery vibe.
So why not remake the shirt with summer in mind? I decided to change my flop into a tank top.
I cut off the top from starting where the sleeves attached and threw that fabric away. I was left with a basic tube. I turned it inside out and slipped it on. With the help of a mirror, I pinned fitted the tube to my torso until I was happy with the fit. Then I restitched the sides and hemmed the top and bottom. With my left over fabric, I cut out 2 long strips, each 2 inches wide. I sewed each strip into a long tube to use as shoulder straps. I pinned the straps into place and sewed.
And I ended up with a successful sewing project, a cool tank to wear during these hot summer months.
