DIY Tank Top from a old shirt


After seeing a friend of mine turn a unisex t-shirt from Vacation Bible School into a snazzy little tank top, it gave me the courage to try it myself. However, as what has become a huge problem with most of my creative moments, I was impatient and didn't try to get the right materials. 
Also, I tried a different style than she did so it doesn't look the same at all.
As this blog says, all you need is an old shirt, scissors and a pencil to mark where to cut.

Well, I didn't use a pencil. That would have really come to my advantage since I apparently possess the cutting skills of a 5 year old and don't know how to cut straight free style very well. Jeez, what did I learn from all the crafts I did in Kindergarten? Anyway, I did one thing right. 

I got an old t-shirt.

I cut the sleeves and neckline.
Then cut it more, but didn't take a pic cause I was too busy concentrating on trying not to mess up completely. 
Le front, very ragged from dull scissors.
Ugh. Did I really just take a pic of myself in a mirror? 
Yeah, totally did. 


Overall, it's super easy to do. I just need to take some time in the morning to trim off all the ragged edges and tie it tighter in the back. 

 Note to self: buy scissors that are made to cut fabric. 
Also, your cell phone will never take as high quality pictures as you want it to because it's probably dying.
