So, sorry for the late post, school started today and I was up late last night doing homework. (yes, homework before I've even been to the class. I actually enjoy it because it gets me jump started into the course). So, without further delay:
I started with this long sleeved pink crew-neck shirt. My roommate gave it to me to do-over because it is much to short for her torso. I then perused my pinterest boards for ideas and came across: http://www.popchampagneblog.com/2012/05/diy-fringe-net-tank.html
I go into more detail then she does and I have a bit of a different outcome as she starts with a tank dress and I start with a too short shirt. But, nonetheless, excellent idea miss popchampagne. I loved how your tank turned out.
Since my shirt was crew neck, and I HATE crew neck (I feel like it is choking me), plus a crew neck just wouldn't look right with this style, I took off the collar and stretched it a little.
Then I put on the shirt and measured where I wanted it to hit me. For me, this was right at my natural waistline and that was about six inches from the bottom of the hem. I measured up each seem and cut there.
Next, I guestimated on the rest of the cuts. If you want you can measure them each out but, I am much to lazy for that
I pulled on each individual cut to stretch out the fabric.
Then I tied two adjacent strands next to each other in a double knot.
Repeat - so it looks a little cooler.
Finished!
Shameless Selfie! (oh, I cut off the sleeves too since they were too tight on me... plus this is a little more of a summery shirt anyway)
Did you do the project?
I'd love to see some pictures!
xoxo,
Kels
