T-shirt redo!

I tried out another pin today!  I had an oversized t-shirt that I won playing bar trivia, but I never wore it because it was way too big.  I had looked up a few other ways to re-size a t-shirt, but this one looked the easiest (and cute!).  Turns out... it WAS easy.  And cute!  I changed the tutorial a little bit - a used a ribbon instead of a strip of the t-shirt for the neckline and I took in the sides a bit.  Here's the link to the original tutorial: Tee to Tank: A Tutorial by Jen from Upcycled Education

And here are a few before and after pictures:
BEFORE: Too-big t-shirt!

AFTER: Awesome fitted halter-style shirt!

Pair it with a matching tank top for a more modest look...

...or with a hoodie for a cool day like today.
Thinking about what other t-shirts I can do this with...
Also and FYI, I have a ONE-DAY SALE coming up in my Etsy shop this Sunday, April 22nd.  Just enter coupon code "UpcycleEarthDay" to get 10% off your entire order!  Yippee!!
